About this day
Some Twelver communities mourn the martyrdom of Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (a) on 7 Safar rather than at the end of the month. The date is genuinely unsettled. The Centre's own majlis for the Imam falls on 28 Safar, and this day stays on the calendar so that families who keep the earlier reckoning are not taken by surprise.
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.
