About this day
The birth anniversary of Imam al-Husayn (a) falls in the first days of Shaban, and the Centre keeps it here with a jashn. The day is not settled. More than one date was reported for it in the early sources, and the year is given differently as well, so this is the most likely day rather than a fixed one.
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.
