Hazrat Zahra (s.a) and the Heart - Rending Episode of Fadak

Notes


1- Night of Divine Decrees = Night of ghadr (*) a night told of in a koranic chapter in which I have found the word ghadr translated in two dif-ferent ways in two koranic translations; M. M. Pickthail refers to it as the “Night of Power” and M. H. Shakir calls it the “Night of Majesty” My opinion however is that according to the contents of the verse, “Night of Divine Decrees” better describes this night. (the translator)

2- is from the root word originally meaning “weaning from milk” and in the appropriate choice of this name for the lady Islam, reasons have been mentioned, including the above meaning.

3-According to the reports of the religions great ones, it is bidden among three nights (the 19th and 23rd of Ramazan).

4-Because her satisfaction and pleasure causes god’s pleasure; and gods pleasure is greater than the world and everything in it.

5-Mojam-AI-Boldan: The word Fadak.

6- Quran; chapter 54, Vs 6 & [^7]:

7-Refer to the book “Fadak” by Alameh Seyyid Mohammed Hassan Ghazvini Haery.
