Ghadeer celebrations in Nigeria
By: Sheikh Ibraheem
ZARIA, Nigeria: The Shia Islamic Movement in Nigeria
headed by Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky marked this year's Eid Ghadeer in
Zaria on 18th Dhul Hajj 1431 (24/11/10). Thousands of Muslims attended
the programme.
Sheikh Zakzaky delivered a lengthy speech on the significance of Eid
Ghadeer starting by congratulating the gathering on ghadeer.
He stressed that the revisiting the history of Ghadeer is important
for the fact that the event still remains unknown to many or it has
been forgotten.
Sheikh further expressed that Islam becomes complete with
wilayah of holy Imams without which it becomes incomplete.
Another merit is that it was on the day the holy Prophet (AS) made tie
of brotherhood between Ansar and Muhajirin upon arrival in Medina. on
the same 18th of Dhul Hajj, 35 years After Hijrah, the Muslims rallied
around behind Imam Ali to pay him allegiance after the death of Uthman
bn Affan. Imam agreed to accept the allegiance but in the Mosque which
he did.
He recited Ziyara of Imam Ali after the sunset prayers and gave
closing prayers.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
