| Eid-e Ghadir |
On Saturday, July 16, 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, we reaffirm our allegiance to the Imam-of-the-Time as the direct lineal successor and inheritor of the authority of Hazrat Ali. This occassion also allows us the opportunity to reflect on and give gratitude for the fourteen centuries of living guidance through the institution of Imamat. Read more |

"Ismailis are Shia Muslims who believe like all Shias throughout the world that the successor to the leadership of the Muslim Community, after the death of Prophet Muhammed, was the Prophet’s cousin and son-in-law, Ali, and that this leadership, in both spiritual and temporal matters, was to continue by heredity through Ali in the Prophet’s family. Today, however, we are one of the few Shia sects led by a hereditary Imam, my grandfather having been the 48th and I myself being the 49th." Mawlana Hazar Imam, Tanzania, November 1982 |
