About this day
Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (a) is remembered on this day, his martyrdom given in the year 148 AH. It is marked across Twelver communities and the Centre holds a majlis. It falls in the last week of Shawwal, the same month that opened with Eid al-Fitr, so the tone of the hall turns from celebration to mourning.
