On a hot sunny day of Thursday the 18th Zilhija 10th Hijri, March 21,632 eswi when the grand procession of pilgrims headed by the PROPHETp.b.u.h was returning back after performing Haj, reached at the place of Ghadeer-a-Khum some 13 miles from Mecca,had to stop suddenly as Jibrael{a.s}brought Wahi and the Prophet{s.w.a.w] started receiving. The Wahi was to deliver the last message of ALLAH. The Prophet{s.w.a.w} accumulated each and every person of the caravan,offered Zohar prayer,ordered to make a stage and then delivered a memorable Khutba in front of one lack twenty four thousand muslims. At the end He called Hazrat ALI{a.s},raised his hand and repeatedly said " Mun Kunto Maula ho fa haza ALI un Maula"
Prophet{s.w.a.w} announced Wilayat-a-ALI{a.s}and asked all the attendants to congratulate ALI{a.s}on his new responsibility. Prophet{swaw} further said that those sitting here and listening to me should deliver this message to those who are not present here.
IMAM-a-Masoom ka qoul hai that it is the most prestigious day among the days of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha and it should be observed as Eid with great religious fervour and pleasure. They should keep fast,wear new clothes,go to each others home to felicitate each other, involve and teach their children about the importance of the day and thanks to ALLAH for being the followers of Wilayat-a-Ali{a.s}.
Mere taraf say tamam momaneen ko Eid-a-Ghadeer bohat bohat mubarak ho. Thanks
