The Night of “Qadr” is hidden among the nights of the year.

The Night of “Qadr” is hidden among the nights of the year.[^3] The grave of the Lady of Islam is unknown among the graves of the great Personages of Islam, and when those who wish to pay pilgrimage to her enter Medina and visit the shrines of all the other great ones but seek her grave not to find it, will well understand the heavy load of this sorrow.

The Night of “Qadr” is better than one thousand flight worship and the virtue of it’s worship is greater than that of a long life of eighty years. The virtue of this great Lady is also greater than thousands upon thousands of virtuous persons and her rank is more superior.[^4] The “Night of Qadr” was the time in which the Quran was descended upon the pure heart of the Prophet of Islam, a sudden, all together revelation, even though its gradual descent took over twenty three years.

The “Night of Qadr” may also therefore be named as the Night of the descent of virtue and perfection, knowledge and wisdom. The being of Fatimah (p.b.u.h.) is also the source for the luminosity of the guardianship and Imamat and also divine knowledge and wisdom. The “Night of Qadr” is the night in which by command of God, the Angels ascertain the destinies of all human beings and present them to “Valy-ye-Amr” (the guardian of his command. It is a night of which in its entirety is peace and good.

The brief life of this Lady of Islam was also from beginning to end, goodness, soundness and blessing and was given the attention and interest of the Angels. The close relationship between the “Night of Qadr” and the being of Fatimah (p.b.u.h.) deems it necessary for all of us to strive harder in knowing her, and obtaining greater benefit from the blessings of her radiance.

* * * Indeed how painful is the encounters that spiteful enemies and uninformed persons had with this “Night of Qadr” and friends of God. One example of the most curious of these encounters is their encounter with that Hazrat in the matter of Fadak. By studying it, many mysteries and questions enshrouding the issue of “Fadak” will be resolved. What you will be reading in this booklet is a condensed explanation and analysis of this matter.

In this discussion of the naked historical facts related to Fadak, any interpretations that could cause a misunderstanding or excite sentiments have been avoided. Especially the majority of its sources are taken from the very well known Sunni sources.
