18th ZilHijjah 1432 A.H. - Eid-e-Ghadeer

[ZiaraatDotCom]

As Salam-o-alaikum,

18th ZilHijjah 1432 A.H. - Eid-e-Ghadeer - the celebration of the
nomination of Imam Ali(a.s.) as the successor of Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw) and the Caliph and Imam of all Momineen and Mominaat.

Eid-e-Ghadeer has been described by Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.) as the day
that will be the brightest day on the day of judgment and will be
presented among other days just like moon among stars. Imam Ali
Riza(a.s.) has described this day as a day of great virtues and
special Aamal (prayers and duas) have been instructed for Momineen
and
Mominaat. A detailed account of these prayers and the religious and
historical significance of Eid-e-Ghadeer is now available at
http://www.ziaraat.com/events/eidghadeer/eidghadeer.php

Hasan bin Rashid asked Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.), “May I be sacrificed on
you, is there any other Eid of Muslims in addition to the two Eid (Eid-
ul-Fitr and Eid-e-Qurban)?” Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) replied:
"Yes, O Hasan! And that Eid is better and more blessed than these two
Eids.”
He asked, “When is that Eid?” Imam(a.s.) replied, “The day when
Ali(a.s.) was made the leader of the people.” He asked, “May I be
sacrificed on you, when is that day?” Imam(a.s.) said, “It is on 18th
of Zilhajj.” He asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, what are our
duties on this day?” Imam(a.s.) said, “Observe fast on this day and
recite Durood on Muhammad(sawaw) and his progeny in excess. Also keep
away from those people who troubled them and denied their rights.
Prophets used to order to observe the day of appointment of their
successor as Eid.” He asked, “What is the reward of a person fasting
on this day?” Imam(a.s.) replied, “He would get the reward of fasting
for sixty months." [Reference: Sawaabul A’amaal, page 110]
