The Directorate of Najaf Municipality announced on Saturday that it had started construction of a monument to commemorate the Ghadeer allegiance at the entrance to the old city.

Director of the directorate’s media, Bashar al-Sudani, said in a statement that the technical staff in the municipality began the establishment of a monument that embodies the Ghadeer allegiance when the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, raised the hand of Imam Ali, peace be upon him, and said, “Of whosoever I am his master, Ali is his master.”

Al-Sudani added that the monument, which will be 12 meters with a width of 6 meters, will have an adjacent water fountain.
