The Islamic Center of Hamburg in Germany will observe the occasion in a ceremony on Monday.
Eid al-Qadir is the commemoration of a historic day in Islam. 14 centuries ago, on the 18th of month of Zi al-Hajjah, on his way back from his last Hajj pilgrimage, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) received a revelation from God, ordering him to halt the pilgrims at a pond called Qadir Khum, and to designate Ali ibn Abi-Taleb (AS) as his successor in guiding and ruling Muslims.
This day is celebrated by many Muslims around the world. Different ceremonies and rituals are held each year to commemorate this day. This year, it falls on Monday, October 13.
