The “Ghadir Khumm Event” includes chapters as follows:

The first chapter gives a summary of the event of Ghadir and the sermon of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, according to the commonalities of the Islamic Ummah. The second chapter examines how this event survived and continued throughout the history Islam. The third chapter examines the narrators of Hadith of Ghadir and how the hadith is recurrent. In this chapter, the confession of Sunni scholars on the authenticity of this hadith is given. Finally, in the last chapter, the description of the word “Wali” (ولی), which was the focus of the words of the Messenger of God on the day of Ghadir, is explained in the meaning of “priority in possession” which is followed by the leadership and management of Muslim affairs. After that, the author has criticized the meaning of the “Wali” as “friend”, which only expresses the virtue and position of Imam Ali (a.s.).
