About this day

Mubahala is a day of explanation more than festivity. It marks the event of the year 9 AH that identifies the Ahl al-Kisa in Quran 3:61, together with the revelation of the Verse of Wilaya, the verse of the ring given in ruku. Twelver reports differ on the exact day; this is the one the Centre keeps, with a lecture rather than a jashn.

Communities differ on this

Families at the Centre 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.
