About this day
This date is disputed. One Twelver reference gives the death of Abu Talib (a) as 26 Rajab and records other reported months, with Ramadan not among them, while 8 Ramadan is what Indo-Pak calendars mark; the Centre's own default sits on 26 Rajab. Where this day is listed at all, it is listed as a calendar convention and not as an agreed anniversary.
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.
