Eid e Ghadir

  "BOLE NABI ALI KO OOTHA KAR BAGAL TALAK 
            PEHCHAN LO YEHI HAI TUMHARA AMIR RAJ 
            HAI CHARKH PER YE DHOOM KE 
            EID-E-GHADIR AAJ 
            NAYAB HUVE NABI KE JANAB E AMIR AAJ"

The Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW) performed Hajj only once in his lifetime. While 
returning from Hajj-tul-Wida(the last Hajj)in the 10th year of Hijra, he 
received the following revelation:

            YA HAIRASOOLU BALIGHMA OONZIL 
            ILLAYAKA MIRRABIKA WA ILM 
            TAFA AL FAMA BALAGHTA RISALAT HUU 
            WAALA HUU YA'ASIMUK MINANAAAS

            O Apostle! Proclaim the Message which 
            has been sent to you from your Lord. 
            If you do it not, you have not fulfilled 
            and proclaimed His Mission. And Allah will 
            defend you from men who mean mischief.For 
            Allah Guides not those who reject Faith.

                            (HOLY QURAN 5:67)

No sooner was this Command revealed than the Holy Prophet (SAW) ordered for all the pilgrims to stop on the plains of Arafat (Ghadir e Khum). People assembled. Camels' saddlebacks were made into a stage, and ascending on this stage, the Holy Prophet (SAW) delivered a 'Khutba'. He then summoned Hazrat Amirul Momeneen Mushkil Kusha Mowla Ali to come on the stage, and raising his hand proclaimed:

(Ali is Mowla of those of whom I am Mowla.)

And then, the Holy Prophet (SAW) made the Firman:

"O People! Hazrat Ali is Syed ul Muslimeen. He is the Imam of the believers. In 
fulfilling the Commandment of Allah, I have today completed my duty, and given 
you your Imam. I beseech Allah to forgive you and me."

Soon thereafter, Muslim men and women did the 'Baiyat' of Mowla Ali pledging 
obedience and loyalty.

And shortly thereafter, the following was revealed upon the Holy Prophet (SAW):

             "This day have I perfected for you 
              your religion and completed My favour 
              on you and chosen for you Islam as 
              a religion..."

                           (HOLY QURAN 5:3)

Thus, Imam e Awwaleen, Amirul Momeneen, Mowla Mushkil Kusha, Mowla Murtaza 
Ali (AS) ascended the Throne of Imamat with the Noor of Allah vested in him, and 
which Noor continues in the present Imam, and will 
continue till the Day of Judgment.

EJI MOWLA MURTAZA ALI 
DUNIYAMAN JAHER THAYA 
TENI KUDRAT NO NAHI KOI SHUMAAR 
DIN ISLAM TIYAN THI PEDA THAYO 
TE KARAN ARSH THI OOTARIYA DHOOL DHOOL 
NE ZULFIQAR

             (Mumeen Chetamani - Syed Imam Shah)

One time, on the 18th of Zilhaj, which was a Friday, while giving a Khutba in 
Jam e Masjid in Kufa said:

"This day is the day of the Faith's perfection. Today is the day to renew and 
refresh the call and promise."

That day was EID-E-GHADIR!
