About this day
Some reports place the birth of Imam al-Baqir (a) on this day, though the main date carried for it is 1 Rajab. Twelver communities differ, and the Centre lists the 3rd as a minority reading rather than a settled one; it is not carried by default.
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.
