The Event of Ghadir Khumm|Ghadir Khumm event (Arabic: واقعة غدير خم) refers to a sermon delivered by the the Prophet Muhammad on 18 Dhu al-Hijjah of 10 AH (March 632 CE) at the pond (ghadir) of Khumm, located between Mecca and Medina.

-'''Islamic ecumenism''' (Arabic: '''التقريب''', ''Taqrīb'', lit. 'rapprochement') refers to modern intellectual and institutional efforts aimed at reducing sectarian distance among Muslim communities, especially between [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] and [[Shia Islam|Shia]] schools of thought.
