On the eighteenth of Dhul-Hijjah every year, the Yemenis used to celebrate the feast of “Al-Ghadeer” since the first hundred of the Prophet’s migration, many large gatherings are witnessed, and the lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt visit it, peace be upon them, from many provinces, and they preparing for it has been made since the day Eid al-Adha.
It is one of the sacred holidays for the Yemenis, and it is unsurprising that they love the people of the house, peace be upon them.
In the last three years, we have published several articles on Eid Al-Ghadeer, and it has generated wide resonance and controversy. Given its importance, we have rearranged its papers, with some additions that the place calls for, and in their entirety they constitute a mini and comprehensive reading of this great event.
Al-Ghadeer .. A culture of life:
The Day of Ghadir carries within the reason for the nation’s survival, its loftiness, and the extension of its authority, values, and supreme principles until it reaches all the world, to fill it with equity and justice.
The divine mandate, as mentioned by the martyred leader “Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi”, is a religion and a state, and which state is greater than the state of truth and justice, the state of the righteous people, a state from God’s command to befriend them and their affection, and make following their security for the people of the earth from deviation and shadows.
What happened in Iraq after its occupation in 2003, and other Islamic countries, the latest of which was the attempt of America’s tools in the region to impose a president in Yemen on the “Zionist-American” whim, and when they failed, they occupied parts of it in the year 2015 and launched sinful aggression against him, and the reason is understanding the Yemenis to what the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, meant in the Ghadir sermon by “this,” and their entrustment of God’s command to their mandate, and their revival of the culture of Ghadir, and their rejection of the culture of domestication.
During the march of the Islamic nation, it was ruled by many dark leaders, from outside the circle of God’s command with their mandate, so many grievances and abuses occurred.
Unfortunately, the culture of submission to the dark rulers has become the dominant one in our Arab and Islamic world
The Islamic Ummah today needs to revive the “Cultural of Ghadir”, if it wants to return to the white pilgrimage and to revive the values, morals, and principles of Islam.
Significance and Implications:
Hence the importance of the role of the guardians of the prophets in explaining the divine laws, protecting them from distortion, and preserving their survival and continuity.
This is the secret behind linking the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, between the Qur’an and the family in the Hadith of the Two Weighty Things.
He wanted to assure his nation throughout history that guardianship is the sister of prophecy, and it is not surprising that imamate is one of the foundations of religion, which should not be underestimated.

Wilayah is the sister of prophecy:
The incident of Al-Ghadeer was not a passing event, rather, the Messenger of God wanted through it to assure his nation throughout history that the Wilayah is the sister of the prophecy, and its impenetrable fence against hurricanes and satanic whims.
The narrators of Al-Ghadeer and its transcripts:
All Muslim jurists and scholars of their various sects, and historians of their various orientations, unanimously agreed on the incident of Al-Ghadeer, and the sermon of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, in the farewell pilgrimage, and they agreed that Imam Ali, peace be upon him, is the one intended by that sermon, to the exclusion of other human beings.
There are many free contemporary non-Shia scholars who spoke about the crime of Bani Umayya and those who followed them among the Wahhabi scholars on Islamic teachings and hadiths, such as the Saudi scholar and thinker Hassan bin Farhan Al-Maliki and the Egyptian thinker Mahmoud Abu Rayh,.. etc., and their books are published for whom He wanted to find the truth.
Among the Companions who attended the event of Ghadir:
Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, Imam Hassan bin Ali, Imam Hussein bin Ali, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Omar bin Al-Khattab, Othman bin Affan, Al-Zubair bin Al-Awam, Talha bin Obaidullah, Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, Abdullah bin Abbas, Al-Fadl bin Al-Abbas, Abdul Rahman bin Auf, Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, Saad bin Ubadah, Qais bin Saad bin Ubadah, Ammar bin Yasser, Abu Dhar Al-Ghafari, Saeed bin Zaid bin Nufail, Salman Al-Farisi, Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, Al-Bara bin Azib Al-Ansari, Abu Al-Hamra is the servant of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah, Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad, Amr bin Al-Aas, Abdullah bin Masoud, Samra bin Jundub Al-Fazari, Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman Al-Absi Al-Ghatfani Al-Qaysi, Zaid bin Thabit bin Al-Dahhak Al-Ansari, Zaid bin Al-Arqam, Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab, Qais bin Thabit bin Shammas, Anas bin Malik, Amr bin Murra Al-Juhani, Omar and Habashi bin Janada Al-Salouli Al-Kufi, Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajali, Hudhaifa bin Acid Al-Ghafari, Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, Abdullah bin Asaad bin Zarara Al-Ansari, Abu al-Tufayl Amer bin Wathila al-Kinani, Hassan bin Thabit, Malik bin al-Huwairith al-Laithi al-Kinani, Habib bin Badil bin Warqa’ al-Khuza’i, Abu Hurairah Abd al-Rahman bin Sakhr al-Dawsi, .., and the general population of Quraysh and the faces of the companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, from my successors, and the emigrants , Ansari, and other Bedouin and urbanites.
Among the women:
Fatimah al-Zahra, Umm Salamah Hind bint Abi Umayyah al-Makhzoumiyyah, Umm Hani bint Abi Talib, Asma bint Umays, Fatimah bint Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, Aisha bint Abi Bakr..etc.
Fallacies:
Despite the clarity of the Hadith of “Al-Ghadeer” and its circumstances and the multiplicity of its narrators among the jurists and historians of the two schools, and the frankness of its expressions in confirming the idea of the “imamate” with general mandate and absolute responsibility, and in appointing the responsible “Imam” after the death of the Messenger of God, someone claims that the word “Mawla” in the Hadith of Al-Ghadeer name used by many groups.
The question here: Is it appropriate for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, to stop tens of thousands of Muslims in the middle of the blazing desert, to tell them that Ali bin Abi Talib is a lover and a friend, or to inform God of an important and dangerous matter that cannot be postponed?
