In this episode of the BeQuran Podcast, Ali and Fatima take a deep dive into the historical and theological significance of Eid al-Ghadir, the day Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) publicly declared Imam Ali as his Mawla and successor at Ghadir Khumm. They explore whether this was a divinely appointed leadership or a matter left to the community’s decision. Drawing from powerful Qur’anic precedents like the appointments of Adam, Musa, Harun, and Talut they reveal a consistent pattern of divine or prophetic appointment over popular election. The discussion also highlights how the Prophet consistently appointed leaders during his lifetime, never leaving leadership to chance or vote, reinforcing that the announcement at Ghadir was a continuation of a divine model. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the nature of leadership in Islam, divine authority, and the implications of Ghadir on our understanding of faith and community today.
