About this day
Some accounts place the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (a) on this day in 114 AH. Reports differ across Twelver communities, and the main date carried by the sources is 7 Dhu al-Hijja, so this entry is a minority report rather than the usual reckoning. It is not kept everywhere.
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.
