About this day
Sayyida Zaynab (a) is honoured on this day with a jashn, a gathering of celebration. Twelver communities do not keep her birth anniversary on the same day, and it is marked on a different date elsewhere in the year, so this is the day the Centre observes rather than a settled one. Families who follow the other date will find it falls in another month.
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.
