#EidGhadir is widely celebrated not just by #Twelver but also #Ismaili and #Zaydi #Shia - the impact on the arts is also considerable 1/
Extensively in painting (and let’s not even bother with the so called prohibitions on figuration) such as classic illustrations on manuscripts and #Farschian 2/

More #ShiiTheology commentary by a little known 9/15th century #SayyidAbdalWahhabAstarabadi on #NasiralDinTusi (d. 672/1274) pithy four chapters on divine simplicity, prophecy, the Imamate, and the afterlife published by the shrine of #ImamHusayn 1/
Precious commentaries included #Tusi contemporary #MaythamalBahrani (d. 699/1300), #MiqdadalSiyuri (d. 826/1423) but the work was a mainstay of the #Hilla school of #ShiiTheology 2/
