About this day
Dhu al-Qada closes with a majlis for the martyrdom of Imam al-Jawad (a), given in the year 220 AH. Twelver communities report this date differently, and the Centre keeps it on the last day of the month, whether that month runs to twenty-nine days or thirty. Read the date from this page rather than assuming the thirtieth.
