The 28th day of the lunar Hijri month, which falls on Friday, October 16, this year, marks the demise anniversary of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imam Hassan (AS), the second Shia Imam.
A day later, Muslims will mourn the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Reza (AS), the 8th Imam.
Imam Reza’s (AS) holy shrine is always filled with pilgrims at the end of Safar but this year there are restrictions to the number of pilgrims visiting the site due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
