Ghadir Khumm
The Ghadīr Khumm ( ar, غَدِير خُم) refers to a gathering of Muslims to attend a sermon delivered by the Islamic prophet Muhammad on 16 March 632 CE (18 Dhu al-Hijjah 10 AH). The gathering is said to have taken place at the Ghadir Khumm, located near the then settlement of al-Juhfa on the path between Mecca and Medina, where Muhammad halted the caravan of Muslims returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage. In the sermon, made shortly before his death in June 632 CE (11 AH), Muhammad made a declaration in favor of Ali ibn Abi Talib, his cousin and son-in-law, uttering the words, "He whose I am, Ali is his ." Shia Muslims believe this to be a clear indication that Ali was designated to lead the Muslim community after Muhammad and celebrate the anniversary of the event as Eid al-Ghadir. The Sunni community meanwhile regards the declaration as a simple affirmation of Muhammad's esteem for Ali. Etymology Ghadir Khumm refers both to the gathering of Muslims for Muhammad's ...

Ghadir (submarine)
''Ghadir'' ( fa, غدیر, ; named after the Ghadir Khumm) is a class of midget submarines built by Iran specifically for cruising within the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf. The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy is the sole operator of this class, whose all submarines serve in the Southern Fleet. No submarine of this class is active at the Northern Fleet, i.e. the Caspian Sea. History Iran had shown interest in midget submarines in the 1980s. According to the ''Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships'', Iran assembled a midget in Bandar Abbas that was completed in 1987 in an unsuccessful attempt. Iran reportedly purchased a second midget of another design from North Korea, delivered in 1988.

Al-Ghadir
''Al Ghadir'' (Arabic: الغدير في الكتاب والسنة والأدب) (that is " The Ghadir in the Book, the Sunnah, and Literature") is a 20-volume book written by the Iranian Shia scholar Abd Al Husayn Amini. The book describes and discusses the Hadith of the pond of Khumm according to Sunni documents. To do so, Amini has gathered the narrations of 110 companions (Sahaba) as well as 40 followers of Muhammad about the event. He then states the related Hadiths narrated by 360 Hadit narrators between the 2nd to 14th centuries of the Islamic calendar. Since Sunni Muslims - unlike Shia Muslims - do not consider Imam Ali (a.s) as the immediate legitimate successor of Muhammad, Amini in his book has tried to prove Ali's succession based on Sunni documents. Amini, in writing the book, travelled to different countries to take advantage of the libraries there among which were India, Iraq, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt and some others. The first print of Al-Ghadir's book was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
