About this day
Four anniversaries share the fifteenth of Rajab: the change of the qibla (2 AH), the end of the Shi'b Abi Talib boycott (4 BH), the birth of Ayatollah al-Khoei (1317 AH) and the death of Muawiya (60 AH). The Khoei birthday is kept in Najafi and Khoei-network centres. The Centre carries the day as an optional entry rather than a fixed part of the programme.
