About this day
The month of Dhu al-Qada opens with the birth of Sayyida Fatima al-Masuma (a), which is a major celebration in Qum. Twelver communities do not all place the same occasion on this date, so families here may know it differently; this is the day the Centre observes. It is kept as a jashn.
