CELEBRATION OF EID E GHADEER IN THE HEAVENS

Celebration of Eid e Ghadeer in the Heavens 

Hazrat Imam Reza (a.s.) narrates from his father Hazrat Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.) who narrates from Hazrat Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that he (a.s.) said: “the day of Ghadeer is more celebrated
and well known amongst the inhabitants of the skies as opposed to the inhabitants of the earth”.

Allah, the Almighty has created a palace in Paradise with bricks of gold and silver. In this palace, there are 100,000 red rooms and 100,000 green tents. The soil of this palace is musk and ambergris(Ambergris - a wax-like substance that is used in perfume manufacture and originates as a secretion in the intestines of the whales.) (anbar). There are four streams in this palace. One stream is of sharaab, one stream of water, one stream of milk and one stream of honey. There are trees on the banks of these streams which bear various types of fruits. 

And there are birds on these trees whose bodies are made up of pearl and their wings are made up of Yaqoot and they chirp various sounds.

When the day of Ghadeer sets in, the inhabitants of the heavens enter this palace. And they do tasbeeh, taqdees and tahleel in this palace. Those birds also enter this palace and bathe in water and then again drown themselves in musk and ambergris (anbar). When the angels gather, they fly and
sprinkle this fragrance on them.

The Angels on the day of ghadeer gift each other with “nisar e Janabe Fatima (s.a.)”. When the final minutes of the day of Ghadeer come near there is voice which says, advance in your
levels and stages, that for the sake of Mohammed (s.a.w.a.)
and Ali (a.s.) you are safeguarded from errors and slips till the same day of next year.” (Your infallibility is renewed till the Day of Ghadeer next year).

#Offering of Wilayat of Ahle Bait (a.s.) to all
creations
Just as on the day of Ghadeer ‘wilayat’ was offered to the men, in the world of creation it was offered to all the creations. Hazrat Imam Reza (a.s.) indicates in a tradition that offering of wilayat in the world of creation happened on the day of Ghadeer.

 Wilayat was offered to the skies. The inhabitants of the seventh sky took precedence over others in acceptance of wilayat and Allah adorned it with the Arsh of Allah.

 Wilayat was accepted by the inhabitants of the forth heaven after the seventh heaven and it was adorned with Baitul Mamoor.

 Wilayat was accepted by the inhabitants of the skies of the world after the forth sky. And Allah adorned it with stars.

 Wilayat was offered to all the land. The land of Mecca took precedence over others in acceptance and it was adorned with Kaaba. 

 The land of Medina accepted Wilayat after Mecca and it was adorned with Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

 The land of Kufa accepted Wilayat after Medina and it was adorned with Ameerul Momineen (a.s.).

 Wilayat was offered to the mountains. Three
mountains accepted before others – aqeeq, firoza
