The photo is taken on November 3, 2012 by Shia Waves.<br \/>\nMuslims, especially Shi&#8217;a consider the day of Ghadir as one of the greatest eids since the early Islam and this day was famous among them as Eid al-Ghadir.In his book, Mas&#8217;udi (d. 346\/957-958) wrote that children and followers of Imam Ali (a) venerated this day. In a hadith, al-Kulayni (d. 329\/940-1) has narrated Shi&#8217;a&#8217;s celebration of this day. Therefore, it is clear that celebration of Eid al-Ghadir has been common in the 3rd\/9th and 4th\/10th centuries.<br \/>\nEarlier, Fayyad b. Muhammad b. &#8216;Umar al-Tusi narrated a tradition which suggested that Imam al-Rida (a) celebrated the day of Ghadir. Since Imam al-Rida (a) was living at the end of the second\/ early 9th century , it becomes clear that the celebrating of the day of Ghadir goes back early centuries of Islam.<br \/>\nSuch a celebration has been common among Muslims in the following years and centuries, so that the ceremony of allegiance with al-Musta&#8217;la b. Mustansir (one of the rulers of Egypt) was held on the day of Eid al-Ghadir 487\/1094. Fatimid caliphs made the Eid al-Ghadir an official eid in Egypt; and in Iran, it has been among official holidays since 907\/1502, when Isma&#8217;il I, the Safavid king came to throne.<br \/>\nIn recent centuries, celebrating this day has been considered among the symbols of Shi&#8217;a.and In Najaf, a great celebration is held every year in the courtyard of Imam Ali&#8217;s (a) holy shrine and noblemen and scholars of Shi&#8217;a and ambassadors of Islamic countries attend there and great speeches and odes are recited. In Yemen, Zaydi Shi&#8217;a celebrate the day of Ghadir and illuminate and decorate their streets.<br \/>\nThe eve of Eid al-Ghadir is also among important nights among Muslims<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shiastudies.com\">shiastudies.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History of the Celebration ghadir Eid al-Ghadir in the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (a) in Najaf, Iraq.
