Grand Ayatollah Shirazi: Eid al-Ghadir Is One of Greatest Days in Islamic History
————————————-
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Husseini al-Shirazi, may his shadow endure, affirmed that Eid Allah al-Akbar, Eid al-Ghadir al-Aghar, is one of the greatest days in Islamic history, as it represents a decisive milestone in the path of Islamic guidance and the declaration of Wilayah and Imamate by divine command.

Grand Ayatollah Shirazi explained that “Eid al-Ghadir is a great day in the history of Islam; the day on which the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, by divine command, announced the Imamate and Wilayah of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, as the continuation of the path of guidance for the Islamic Ummah.”

His Eminence pointed to the great doctrinal status of Eid al-Ghadir, describing it as an occasion that embodies the natural continuation of the Islamic message and reinforces the meanings of Wilayah and adherence to the path of the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, in justice and divine leadership.

His Eminence also stated that Eid al-Ghadir, together with the ninth of Rabi al-Awwal, represents the two wings of Islamic belief: the principles of Tawalli and Tabarri, which complement one another and cannot be separated, helping to strengthen the faith-based and intellectual identity of believers.
