About this day
Two entries sit on the sixth of Muharram: Habib b. Muzahir's appeal to Banu Asad, and the first siege of the Euphrates. Twelver communities differ over the dating of the water blockade, which is reported on the sixth as well as the seventh, so the Centre lists this day without presenting it as settled.
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.
