Eid Al-Ghadeer

 On the 18th of Thil hijja at Ghadeer-Khum, the Holy Prophet made his final message to complete his succession.  In Arabic the word "Ghadeer" means a pond and Khum is the name of this pond in the desert called "sahra-e-Hujfah".  It is a known tradition that all the prophets appointed their successors by Allah's will without the approval of the followers.  But the leadership became a controversy among Prophet Mohammed's followers even though he declared many time that Imam Ali was the successor.
