About this day
The Centre lists the battle of Uhud, and the death of Hamza b. Abd al-Muttalib with it, on the seventh of Shawwal in the year 3 AH. Twelver sources carry both the seventh and the fifteenth, and communities differ over which they keep, so the alternative date stays visible beside this one.
Communities differ on this
The Centre’s congregation includes Indian, Pakistani, Irani, Hazara, Iraqi and Afghan families, and they do not all keep this on the same day. The date above is the one the Centre observes; it is not a ruling on anyone else’s.
