About this day
An optional evening celebration, held on the eve of the wiladat of Sayyida Fatima al-Masuma (a). Because the Islamic day begins at maghrib, it falls on the last night of Shawwal, the twenty-ninth or the thirtieth depending on the length of the month. It comes from the practice of one community rather than from a date kept across Twelver communities.
