In Mecca and Medina, the halal bihalal tradition was unknown. Therefore, it can be said that halalbihalal is made in Indonesia or created by Indonesian Muslims or in Prof. Dr. QuraishShihab is the result of the indigenous teachings of Islam among Southeast Asian societies.

It is said that this tradition was first pioneered by Mangkunegara I, born April 8, 1725, who is known as Pangeran Sambernyawa.
