The End of Cloudy Years "A Re-review on Yaum al-Dar"

Abstract

In this article, the author puts emphasis on the point that the invitation to God and holy Prophetʹs prophethood befor "Yaum al-Dar" was open and appearant and the thing which was covert was the issue of vilayat and vesayat of Imam Ali. To prove this, the author takes a look over "the life of holy Prophet and Prophethood era with emphasis on Quran, begining of open invitation, and declaring Imam Aliʹs khilafat", claiming that holy Prophetʹs secret and covert invitation to God in his first 3-year of prophethood is a baseless and contradictory issue. Further, the author asserts that "Yaum al-Dar" was to announce Imam Aliʹs khilafat and vilayat. The 7-fold tradition of "Yaum al-Dar" from "al-Ghadir" of learned Amini, are reviewed and several reactions of Ghoraysh after "Yaum al-Dar" and holy Prophetʹs decision are outlined here.
