SHAFAQNA- Eid Al-Ghadir’s 10-km Celebration held in Tehran, Capital City of Islamic Republic of Iran on Friday (07 July 2023).
Eid Al-Ghadir is a special day for Shia Muslims. It honors when Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) was chosen by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be his successor. Ali (AS) was the Prophet’s cousin and son-in-law. The festival is named after a place called the Pond (Ghadir) of Khumm, where it is believed that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made an important announcement.
Eid Al-Ghadir is a celebration of a significant event in Islamic history. It marks the last sermon given by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at a place called Ghadir Khumm. This special occasion happened on the 18th of a month called Dhul-Hijjah, in the year 10 after the Hijra. Shias view this event as the reason why they believe Imam Ali (AS) should have become the leader after the Prophet (PBUH).
