EED-E-GHADEER

Today is considered the greatest Eed by Almighty Allaah and Aal-e-Muhammad. To whomsoever Allah bestowed Apostleship, they observed this day as a very revered day of Eed.

Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq A,S. was once asked that if there was any other Eed besides the Eed of Fitr, Adh’haa, and Jummah, he said that there is one of the greatest Edd and it is the Eed of Ghadeer on 18th Zilhijjah when the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) announced publicly about the Imaamat and Khilaafat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) delaring, “Man Kuntu Mawlaahu Faa Haadhaa Aliyyun Mawlaahu.” The questioner asked the Imaam that what deeds should we do today? He answered that you should observe Fasting, remember Muhammad (S.A.W.W) and Aali Muhammad (A.S.) and send Salawaat on them abundantly.

Imaam Ali Radhaa (A.S.) said to one of his companions that from wherever he was he should try to reach to the Holy Shrine of Imaam Ali (A.S.) because today Allaah S.W.T pardons the sins for sixty years of every Mu’min men and women, and every Muslim men and women. And also He emancipates people from Hell fire as He does in Shab-e-Qadr and Shab-e-Eed. To give one dirham to your Mu’min brother today is more benevolent then to give one thousand dirhams in other days. And it is very beneficient to be compassionate and kind and lenient to your Mu’min brothers and sisters today. The Imaam said on oath that if people would recognize the sanctity and excellence of this day the Angels would shake hands with them. So it is of utmost importance that we should give appropriate reverence to this day of Ghadeer.

For the blessed day of Ghadder one should put on good cloths, wear best perfume, rejoice, make the Shias also rejoice, forgive their mistakes, fulfil their needs, be considerate and free handed to relatives, spend on their children, send food to Mu’mineen, give Iftaar to those who have Fasted, meet Mu’mineen with delight and shake hands with them, send them gifts, and rejoice because of the great blessing from Allaah in the way of the Wilayat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) Today do much Ibaadat and recite Salawaat many times. To feed a Mu’min today is equal to feed all the Prophets and Virtuous. Imaam Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.) said that to make Iftaar for a Fasting person is equal to making the same to two hundred thousand people amongst Prophets, Pious, and Martyrs.

There are some A’amaals to be done for today:

• 
  Observe Fast. Its merit is equal to the Fastings of the whole life and 100 Hajj and Umrah.
  
• 
  Make Ghusl.
  
• 
  Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) known as Ziyaarat-e-Ameenullah
  

• 
  Recite another Ziyaarat-e-Jaamia Mutliqah.
  
• 
  Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz just before noon in the first rak’at Innaa Anzalnaa and in the second S. Ikhalaas once each. Then go into Sajdah and recite 100 times Shukr of Allaah. Then raise from it and recite a Duaa (ref.M.Jinan), then another Sajdah and recite !00 times Al-Hamdulillaah and 100 times Shukran-Lillaah.
  MERIT: The performer of this A’mal is as if he was present at Ghadeer-e-Khum and accepted all what Rasoolullah (S.A.W.W.) has said.
  
• 
  After Ghusl, half hour before noon pray 2 rak’at Namaaz in which, after Al-Hamd recite 10 times S.Ikhlaas, 10 times Aayatul Kursee, and 10 times S.Ikhlaas in each rak’at. MERIT: Sawaab of one lack Hajj, one lack Umrah, the Haajaat shall be granted, and good health guaranteed..
  
• 
  Recite Duaa-e-Nudbaa today.
  
• 
  Other Duaas are in Mafaatihul Jinaan.
  

EED–E–MUBAAHILA 24^th Day

Today is the day of great rejoicing and full conviction that Islaam is the true religion and the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and his Holy Ahlul Bayt are the True Guides of the right path. This is because some non-Muslims, Christians from Najraan, came to the Holy Prophet for the arguments concerning true religion. The Holy Prophet tried his best to make them understand the true matter but due to their stubbornness the non-Muslims did not believe. Finally they decided to come to an open ground together with their respective sons, daughters, and selves and invoke curses on the one who is not on the right. But when they observed that the Prophet had brought with him the most loved and near ones with him, whose personality so much godly and astounding, and they observed the signs of Adhaab ready to come over them, so they accepted their defeat and thus Islaam was proved to be the rightful religion.

Today was the day when Aayae - Tat’heer was revealed to acertain the purity of Ahlul Bayt.

Today was the day when Imaam Ali (A.S.) in the state of Rukoo’ gave away his valueable ring to a needy person, and Allaah revealed the Aayat of “Innamaa Waliyyukumullaah…” In the honour of Imaam Ali (A.S.)

Some A’amaal for today:

• 
  Make Ghusl.
  
• 
  Observe Fast.
  
• 
  Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz such as that of Eed-Ghadeer’s.
  
• 
  Recite Duaa-e-Mubaahila. (ref.M.Jinaan).
  
• 
  Give Alms to Faqeer.
  
• 
  Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) better to recite Z.Jaamia.
