Wedding anniversary

The first of Dhul Hijjah (Last month of the Lunar Islamic Calendar) is the wedding anniversary of the daughter of the Holy Prophet and her husband, Imam Ali – the first Imam of the shias. Since our university is named after the daughter of the Prophet, the students at break time went absolutely wild. They all gathered in the stairwell at break time and started clapping, singing and chanting.
This day is also known as husband/wife day. Although I’m still waiting for my flowers, I was treated to lunch when I got home from school.
