About this day
The Centre mourns the martyrdom of Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (a) on 28 Safar, which is the majority scholarly view. Communities differ: some keep 7 Safar instead, and that day is also on this calendar. Across Australia this is the largest single Safar majlis outside Arbain, and the date is shared with the demise of the Holy Prophet (s).
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.
