About this day
One reported reckoning gives the birth of Sayyida Zaynab (a) on this day, in 5 or 6 AH. Twelver communities differ on the date, and the Centre's main listing for her birth falls on 1 Shaban; this entry is the alternative reckoning, kept for families who follow it.
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.
