64-65*.* What proves our suggested possibility concerning the truth of the ‘Night of Power’ (or Decree) Lailat al-qadr [^6] is the lengthy noble hadith ,[^7] which appears in the exegesis of al-Burhan ( Tafsir al-Burhan ) and is quoted from the book al-Kafi , [^8] in which it is said that when a Christian asked Imam Musa ibn Ja‘far[^9] about the hidden meaning of the Qur’anic verse: “ Ha Mim. By the book that makes things clear.

We sent it down during a blessed night, for We ever wish to warn against evil. In that night is made distinct every affair of wisdom ,” (Qur’an 44:1-4),[^10] he replied, “As to the meaning of Ha Mim, it is Muhammad, peace be upon him and his descendants. The ‘book that makes things clear’ is Amir al-Muminin ‘Ali, upon whom be peace, and the ‘night’ is Fatima, upon whom be peace.”[^11] Adab al-Salat, p.

329 Amongst the supererogatory prayers to be performed after the prescribed prayer ( salat ) are the tasbihat [^12] of Fatima Zahra, upon whom be peace, which the Messenger of God, peace be upon him and his descendants, taught her and which are the most preferred of such prayers.[^13] It is in the hadith that had there been anything better, the Messenger of God, peace be upon him and his descendants, would have presented Fatima, upon whom be peace, with it. Adab al-Salat, p.

377 The divine personality of Hazrat Fatima Zahra The divine personality of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (upon whom be peace) All dimensions that one can imagine exist for a woman and a human being were personified in Fatima Zahra, upon whom be peace. She was not an ordinary woman; she was a spiritual woman, a heavenly woman, a human being in the true sense of the word. She was the incarnation of human goodness; she personified the true nature of woman and the true nature of the human being.

She was not an ordinary woman, she was a heavenly being who appeared in this world in the form of a human being, she was a divine, celestial being who appeared in the form of a woman. She personified all the very best human and female traits that one can imagine. Tomorrow[^14] then is Women’s Day, tomorrow is the day on which such a woman was born.

She was a woman who embodied all the virtues of the prophets, a woman who, had she been a man, would have been a prophet, a woman who, had she been a man, would have been the Messenger of God. Spiritual qualities, heavenly qualities, divine qualities, celestial qualities, human and angelic qualities all came together in this being.
