Happy Eid-e-Ghadir "Whom so ever Mawla (master) I am, Ali is his

master, O Allah! love him who loves Ali, and be the enemy of the enemy of Ali;

help him who helps Ali, and forsake him who forsake Ali." - Prophet Muhammad

We wish you a happy Eid-e-Gahdir

Helvetica, sans-serif"> Eid-e-Ghadir is one of the most important day

as this is the day on which Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) declared Hazrat Ali's

(a.s) WILAYAT ( Vicegerency ) at Ghadir e Khum. Eid-E-Ghadir

(I'd-Al-Ghadir) which is on the 18th of the Zilhajj (Lunar Calendar) is one of

the most celebrated event by Shiite Moslems. The event of Ghadir means the

nomination of Ali by the Prophet Mohammad as his successor. It was the

tradition of all the prophets to nominate their successors in compliance with

the order of God and regardless of the approval of their followers. To the

Moslems, Ghadir-e-Khum is the famous place where the Prophet Mohammad revealed

his final message that he would be succeeded by Saint (Hazrat) Ali. The Arabic

word "Ghadir" means pond and Khum is the

particular pond located about 90 Kilometers (54 miles) northwest of Mecca in the

heart of the desert called "Sahra -e- Hujfah". As Prophet Mohammad arrived at

Ghadir-e-Khum, he heard the voice of Archangel Gabriel and the signs of

revelation appeared. As Prophet heard the Angel, he asked to recite Azan (or

Adhan, prayers that the muezzin will say to gather Moslems to the mosque) with

addition of words "Hayya'ala Khair il'amal which means hasten towards the best

of deeds. Eid-e- Ghadir is one of the most important day in the history of

Islam for the entire Muslim world of this planet earth and all other worlds,

presently known or unknown to mankind.Soon after finishing the Hajj Prophet

Mohammed (peace be upon him) proceeded for Madina. On his way, at the Ghadir

Khumm (small pond of water), he received a revelation from

Allah, “O Apostle! deliver what has been revealed to

you from your lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His

message. Allah will protect you from the people surely Allah will not guide the

unbelieving people. ( Surah 5 -The Food, Verse 67) He suddenly stopped, halted

his caravan and

ordered Bilal to recall the Muslims, who had gone ahead, who were behind and who

were proceeding to their homes at their junction, to assemble. The famous

Ahle-Sunnet scholar and commentator,Fakhur’d-din ar- Razi in his

Tafsir-rul’-kabir, (vol.12, pp 49-50) writes that Prophet took Ali by the hand

and said: "Whom so ever mawla (master) I am, Ali is his master, O Allah! love

him who loves Ali, and be the enemy of the enemy of Ali; help him who helps

Ali, and forsake him who forsake Ali."He (Ar- Razi) writes further that

Abu-Baker and Umar congratulated Ali in the following words:"Congratulations! O

son of Abu Talib! This morning you have became my mawla and mawla of every

believing man and women."Once again, a revelation proclaimed: "This day I have

perfected your religion and completed my favour on you and chosen for you Islam

as religion" (Surah 5 - The Food, verse 3) Eid-e Ghadir is a national holiday

in Iran. om-sai-allah "O

Messenger (Prophet), deliver to the people what has been revealed to you from

your Lord and if you do not do so then you will not have delivered His message

and Allah will protect you from the people."
