Shia Communities Worldwide Mark Birth Anniversary of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra

Shia Muslims across the world are commemorating the 20th of Jumada al-Thani, the birth anniversary of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her), with large-scale religious ceremonies, processions, and cultural programmes in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Lebanon, and diaspora communities.

Hawzah News Agency- According to reports viewed by Shia Waves Agency, the anniversary—known as the Wilada of Sayyida Fatima (peace be upon her)—highlights her role as the daughter of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon her and her pure family), the wife of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), and the mother of Imam Hasan, Imam Husayn, Lady Zaynab, and Lady Umm Kulthum (peace be upon the all).

In Najaf, thousands of pilgrims from across Iraq are convening to visit the Shrine of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), where a special ceremony will be held on Friday to hoist a new flag bearing the name of Lady Fatima (peace be upon her) atop the golden dome. Images released by the shrine administration show a highly spiritual atmosphere as worshippers gathered for prayers, Qur’an recitations, and congratulatory processions marking the joyous occasion.

Additional observances were also reported in Karbala, Mashhad, Hyderabad (India), Gilgit-Baltistan, and Shia communities in the UK and Australia, where mosques and Hussainiyas are holding night gatherings emphasizing Lady Fatima’s unmatching virtues and sacrifices for the guidance of humanity.
