This research shows that Tahlilan is not a local Javanese product and Hindu and Buddhist heritage but itcomes from the Middle East, especially Yemen, which is the land of the Walisongo ancestors, where the Walisongo were spreader Islam in Indonesia. Tahlil and the ritual of praying for the dead is a Sunni tradition and it is carried out in several countries such as Egypt, Morocco and Yemen. To analyze this problem the author adjusts to the historical approach. The data are taken from media, books and research results related to the tradition of Tahlilan.
