The Martyrdom of Fatimah is observed in Iran on November 24, commemorating the death anniversary of Fatimah Zahra, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This event is a public holiday in Iran, reflecting the country's official adherence to Shia Islam. Fatimah, who was married to Muhammad's cousin Ali and the mother of Imams Hasan and Husayn, is greatly revered for her close relationship with her father and her significant role in Islamic history. Shia Muslims believe she was martyred, which is why her death is marked with mourning ceremonies and processions. These ceremonies last for twenty days, but only the third day of Jumada al-Thani is recognized as a public holiday. The observance includes various rituals that honor her legacy and contributions to Islam.
