About this day
Two of the calendars behind this list place the birth of Imam al-Sajjad (a) in different months, so the day is not settled and families in the same hall may hold different dates. He was born in the year 38 after the Hijra. The Centre observes the anniversary here, with 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.
