About this day
Named as the thirtieth day after Ashura, this day is remembered as the shahadat of Bibi Sakina (a). It is a calendar convention rather than a settled date: Twelver communities differ over both the day and the name, and the span is given as 9 to 10 Safar. The Centre lists the 10th without keeping a programme for it.
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.
