Srinagar: The Trustee (Muttawali ) of Charar-e-Sharif shrine has cleared confusion looming over the holiday on account of Urs of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani (RA).

Haji Mohammad Younis said that due to fluctuation in Islamic date, there was some alteration in the observance of some important occasions and as such the Urs Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani (RA) falls on Friday (October 13, 2023).

“The ‘Shab’ (nightlong prayers) will be observed on the preceding night (Thursday) and as such the holiday falls on the Urs day (Friday)”, Younis said.

The version of Haji Younis corroborates the communication Chief Executive Officer, J&K Waqf Board, Dr. Majid Jahangir to the Secretary to the Government, Revenue (Haj & Auqaf) Department.
