About this day
This day celebrates the birth of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (a). Twelver sources give different years for it, so the Centre prints the day and month only and fixes no year. In Iran the same date is kept as Women's Day and Mother's Day, and the Centre marks 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.
