Eid al-Ghadir falls on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah. It is a day that has remained present in discussion and reflection across generations.

Incidentally this was the day IHTV3 began its campaign to providing continuous blog posts.  Go and check out the remaining posts.

It hasn’t faded with time.

In Al-Ghadir, the event is documented in detail, bringing together a wide range of sources that record what took place.

That continued attention is part of what defines it.

It’s not treated as a moment that passed. It’s something that is returned to, revisited, and reflected on.

And finally, the fact that it is still remembered in this way says as much as the event itself.
