About this day
Twelver communities do not agree on when Imam al-Hadi (a) was born, and this is the date the Centre observes, given in the year 212 AH. Families who grew up with a different date on the calendar at home are marking the same birth. The Centre keeps it as a jashn.
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.
