Eid-e Ghadir

July 25, 2021 | Canada

On Tuesday, July 27, Shia Muslims across the world will observe Eid-e Ghadir, marking the anniversary of an important event in Muslim history. According to Shia tradition, this occasion commemorates the pivotal gathering at Ghadir Khumm, when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) — based on a divine command from Allah — designated Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) as his successor and the first in the continuing line of hereditary Imams. 

In commemorating Eid-e Ghadir, the Jamat celebrates the seminal event of Ghadir Khumm, reaffirming our allegiance to the Imam-of-the-Time as the direct lineal successor and inheritor of the authority of Hazrat Ali.
