About this day
The Centre lists the birth of Sayyida Sakina (a) on 20 Rajab, kept as a celebration where it is marked. Twelver communities do not agree on the date: some calendars carry this day, others place it on 1 Rajab, and one Twelver reference records that no report of her exact birthday survives at all. The Centre treats none of these as settled, and the day is not on every calendar.
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.
