W hat is Eid al-adha? At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Makkah), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-adha (Festival of Sacrifice). Eid al-adha (Arabic: األضحى عيد ʿ īd al-aḍḥā) meaning "Festival of the sacrifice"), also called the Feast of the Sacrifice.(Persian: قربان, عيد Eid-e qorban), the "Major Festival",the "Greater Eid", is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. It honors the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his promised son, Ismail, as an act of submission to God's command, before God then intervened to provide Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead. In the lunar-based Islamic calendar, Eid al-adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-hijjah and lasts for three days. In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year. Eid al-adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-fitr. The basis for the observance comes from the 196th ayah (verse) of Al-Baqara, the second sura of the Quran. Like Eid al-fitr, Eid al-adha begins with a Eid prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah). 3

E id-e-ghadir -18th Zilhajjah On 18th Zilhijjah of the year 10 A.H. (10 March 632 CE),after completing the last pilgrimage,the Holy Prophet(pbuh) along with around 100,000 Muslims reached a place called 'Ghadir-e-khumm' near Mecca. The following verse was revealed :Quran 5:67] O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people. On receiving the above verse, the Holy Prophet stopped at that very place & delivered a speech an extract of which is :-[...It seems the time has approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere to them both, you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my Progeny, that is my Ahlul Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)." Then the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in an attempt to remind Muslims of his own authority over them said: " Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves? " Muslims answered unanimously " Yes, O' Messenger of God ". This served as a stepping stone for the announcement of his heir and vicegerent. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) held out the hand of Ali(as) and said: 4

" For whoever I am his Leader (mawla), 'Ali is his Leader (mawla)." The Holy Prophet then continued to say: " O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him." E ditorial We'd also like to cordially invite all Iranian and tourists to come and see this historical museum. This is the first museum for the historical events and ready for people of all ages, all backgrounds, and all levels of knowledge to come to learn about history, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of contemporary history.we hope that by coming to this museum, people will view their world in new ways and gain a deeper understanding of how historical expression and reality enrich our lives every day. In this museum, we invite everyone to connect with history of islamic revolution. Each day, we have tours which starting 10 a.m and 2 p.m every day. E vents Imam s migration from Iraq to Paris 5

Friday, October 5, 1978 In 1978 and while Islamic movement of Iranian people led by Imam Khomeini had reached its culmination, the Shah s Regime, disappointed from causing Imam to remain silent, tried some political activities to limit his activities or deport him from Iraq. For the very same reason, Iraqi forces laid siege to his house in Najaf and controlled and restricted comes and goes to it. Imam Khomeini, determined to continue the struggle at any cost, decided to leave Iraq for Syria, but due to strained relations between the two countries it was appointed that he pass through Kuwaiti territories to Syria. While a visa on his arrival to Kuwait had been issued, Kuwaiti officials issued a decree to prevent him from arriving the country. Imam stayed the night in Basra and decided to flight to Paris. In a message addressed to Iranian nation he mentioned the reasons for his flight, Now that I m forced to leave adjacency of Imam Ali (AS) and do not see my hands free in Islamic territories to serve you the oppressed nation who are attacked by foreigners and their affiliates, and in a situation that they had stopped me from entering Kuwait while I had visa, I fly to France. No matter where I am, what is of significance to me is fulfilling Divine duty and high interests of Islam and the Muslims. Now that the Islamic movement has reached a critical stage, you and I are responsible. Islam expects us to do something. Accordingly, Imam and his companions were transferred to Baghdad on October 6, 1978, and the following day he began an epochal flight for the sake of God, in which after a short stay in Paris he resided at Neauphle-le-Château village. Quite contrary to the Shah s expectation, Imam s inhabitancy in Paris accelerated the revolution and many reporters and journalists rushed to Imam visit every day so as that small village had turned into the focus of world news. After a few months Islamic Revolution gained victory. 6

Assassination of Ayatollah Ashrafi Esfehani October 15, 1982 Prior to the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ashrafi Esfehani was political prisoner in Joint Committee of Savak Ayatollah Ataullah Ashrafi Esfahani was born in 1902 in a city near Isfahan. After accomplishing preliminary studies in his hometown and Isfahan, he departed for Qom, where he could achieve the level of Ijtihad. With outset of the Islamic movement of Imam Khomeini in 1963 he strenuously accompanied him, so as he was threatened with exile and imprisonment by SAVAK due to his struggle activities. With culmination of the movement in 1978, Martyr Ashrafi Esfahani led popular struggles of people of Kermanshah and by inviting the combatant clergies to guide people played a prominent role in the victory of the Islamic movement. During a protesting demonstration he was attacked by regime officers and injured. Some days later, SAVAK trespassed his house and comprehended him. But upon his release, he continued his anti-regime activities and go went on to lead people of Kermanshah. After the victory of Islamic Revolution, he was appointed by Imam 7

Khomeini as the Friday Imam of Kermanshah. With outbreak of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran, he rushed to the war fronts, encouraging the soldiers of Islam. After two failed assassination attempts, the blind hypocrites (People s Mujahedin) eventually martyred him on October 15, 1982, during the Friday Prayer and while he was prostrating, via launching a grenade and left Imam and the nation mournful for his loss. In a part of his message on the occasion of Ayatollah Ashrafi Esfahani s martyrdom Imam Khomeini said, He was an encouraging figure for the youths in the war fronts. The martyrdom of Hojatoleslam Hashemi Nejad Tuesday, September 29, 1981 Prior to the Islamic revolution, Hojatoleslam Hashemi Nejad was political prisoner in Joint Committee of Savak. Martyr Hashemi Nejad was born in 1932 in Behshahr. Having accomplished preliminaries, he departed for Qom to take advantage of the presence of Ayatollah Boroujerdi and Imam Khomeini for 14 years. Then he left for Mashhad in 1961 to extend his political struggles. On the eve of June 5, 1963, he was comprehended by 8

Pahlavi forces for delivering a passionate speech in Tehran, but after release he returned to Mashhad and continued his struggle. In November of 1964 he was comprehended for the second time by SAVAK officers for his anti regime speeches. In 1971 he was arrested for the third time and was banned from minbar (religious lecture) forever. But he never abandoned and was once again comprehended by SAVAK, and then imprisoned for 2 years, for his passionate anti-regime speech in 1975. After release he returned to Mashhad and, accompanied by Ayatollah Khamenei, exhibited such fervent struggles that Imam Khomeini addressed him in a letter saying, My hope is on figures like you. In 1978 SAVAK tried a failed assassination attempt on his life. After the victory of Islamic Revolution, he was elected representative of people of Mazandaran in the Assembly of Experts and then was appointed the Secretary of Islamic Republic Party in Mashhad, and with outbreak of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran he rushed to the warfronts. Eventually he was targeted by a grenade from blind hypocrites (People s Mujahedin) on September 29, 1981, and achieved his old aspiration, Martyrdom.

The only thing they did in this room was to bandage the wounds caused by the whipping. The room looked more like a torture chamber because they did not use any anesthetic while bandaging and secondly, while changing the bandages, they forcefully took away the bandages only to refresh the painful wounds.
