My Ghadeer Luminaria
My Ghadeer Luminaria
Bring the story of Ghadeer to life with this beautiful glowing paper lantern craft.
Children will colour, cut, and assemble their own Ghadeer Luminaria, each panel telling part of the story of the special day when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) declared Imam Ali (AS) as the leader after him.
Once the craft is assembled, place a battery-operated tea light inside to create a warm, glowing reminder of the light of Wilayah. You can also punch holes at the top and thread string through to hang it as a special Eid al-Ghadeer decoration.
