About this day
Sources agree that two rakas are recorded for the eve of the 13th, but not on what is recited in them: one names Ya-Sin, al-Mulk and al-Tawhid, another al-Fatiha and al-Tin. Where the Centre prints one of the two, it names the source it follows. Like the other Shaban eves, it begins at maghrib.
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.
