Özet:

Initially, according to almost all Shīʿī groups mainly Imāmiyya, when the Prophet Muhammad rested after returning from Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajj al-Wadāʿ in 18 Zilhicca 10/17 March 632) to report a significant matter in a place called Ghadīr Khum where is inconvenient to take a rest and at that moment the verse (al-Mâida 5/67) which is about the command to the prophet to convey each message which is sent down to him otherwise he does not fulfill the prophecy mission. The exact time of the event is a controversial matter among Ahl al-Sunna and Shīʿī scholars. Based on the Ghadīr Khum event lays the “khilafat” issue which has been a problematic issue among Muslims throughout the history of Islam. This issue, which was cited as evidence by especially Imāmiyya, is that proof of the designation of ʿAlī’s caliphate by nass. Mehmet Nur Akdogan’s study named Ghadīr Khum with its Historical and Actual Dimensions analyzes this incident, which is the base of an important matter of debate in the field of the History of Islam, in the context of the position in the course of history, its reflection to our time, and the change of knowledge and its transformation forms by the parties. In this study, we are going to evaluate this author’s work.
