Events of Navrozنوروز کی اہمیت

Imam Sadiq (a) said, the act of holding this day in esteem and greatness is due to certain historical events which took place. Navroz is the day when Allah (swt), the High, took the promise from the souls of all human beings (before their creation) to His oneness, that they would not associate partners with Him and that they would accept and believe in His Prophets and Imams. This is also a day when the flood during the time of Prophet Nuh (a) subsided and the ark rested on the mountain of Joodi. Navroz is also a day when the Messenger of Allah destroyed the idols of the polytheists of the Quraish in the city of Makkah. This was also the day that Prophet Ibrahim destroyed the idols. It is also a day when the Messenger of Allah ordered his companions to pledge allegiance to Ali as the Commander of the Faithful (Day of Ghadeer which took place on the day of Nawroz). It is also a day when the Qayem from Aale Muhammad (a) (the 12th Imam) will make his advent (Insha-Allah).
