About this day
Twelver calendars do not agree here. Two of the references carry the birth of Ali al-Akbar (a) on 11 Shaban and a third leaves it out altogether, so families in one hall may keep it differently or not at all. The 11th is the day the Centre lists.
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.
