About this day
The Centre observes the shahadat, the martyrdom anniversary, of Imam al-Sajjad (a) on the twenty-fifth of Muharram. Twelver communities do not all keep the same date for it, and the year is reported as either 94 or 95 AH, so the twenty-fifth is presented here as the day this Centre marks rather than as a settled fact. A majlis is held.
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.
