Reviews Tahlilan According Persfekti Shafi'i school of Complete with Dalil

Tahlil (or Kenduri Spirits or the salvation of Souls) It is a ritual / ceremony selamatan done some Muslims, mostly in Indonesia and possibly in Malaysia, to commemorate and pray for those who have died is usually done on the first day of death until the seventh day, and thereafter performed on the 40th day, 100th, unity first, second, third and so on. Some are doing tahlilan on day-1000.

The word "Tahlil" literally means berizikir, to say the phrase of unity "La ilaha illa Allah" (none worthy of worship except Allah).

Tahlilan ceremony is considered a practice in the centuries of transition carried out by people who embraced Islam, but can not abandon their old habits. Gathered-togethers at home expert deceased not only occur on pre-Islamic society in Indonesia, but also in various parts of the world, including in the Arabian peninsula. By preachers (known wali Songo) at that time, the old ritual ritual bernafaskan converted into Islam. In Indonesia, tahlilan still entrenched, thus the term "Tahlilan" connoted commemorate and pray for those who have died. tahlilan do not just get-together for old habits. The present generation no longer feels the need and had to conduct get-together just like that. if any tahlilan still held up until now, it is because every child wants his parents are deceased into heaven. as it is known by all Muslims, that pious child who prays for his parents is everybody's dream, therefore, every parent wants their children to be devout and pray for them. from here, the family prayed for deceased, and some families feel more comfortable if their parents pray for the dead done by more people (congregation). then diundanglah people to it, and presenting (sodaqoh) just a little treat is not unusual, especially taboo, let alone forbidden. treat (sodaqoh) was only concerned with the respect they invite their own guests. then, if there are children who do not want or are not happy to pray for his parents, then he (or his family) would not do, and it does not have any legal consequences syareat. Makruh not too unclean. child like this surely also people who do not want to be prayed for if he died later.

This activity is not of the required activities. people should do it or not. tahlilan not the obligation, and is a lie and fetched if tahlilan is calculated as a pillar. tahlilan is a free choice for individuals and families associated with the desire to pray for their parents or not. tahlilan also not an activity that should be done gathered-together at the funeral home and therefore the alleged burden the host. tahlilan deceased and pray that it can be done individually or in congregation, in the same place or everywhere. alleges tahlil as innovation is making it up and against the belief that the child devout Muslims who pray for the parents is the ideal of every person.
