Sayyeda Fatimah Zahra and the “Night of Divine Decrees”
By:
Qadr means honour and dignity. Lailatul Qadr means the night of honour and dignity. This is one of the holiest and most blessed nights. According to the reports of the religions great ones, it is hidden among three nights the 19th, 21st, and 23rd of Ramadan. The reward of worship on this night is better than the worship of a thousand months of worship, equivalent to a person's lifetime.
In Volume forty-three of the book Bihar-al-Anwar Hazrat Imam Sadiq said in a tradition recorded in the commentary of “Forat-bin-Ibrahim” speaking of the meaning of the Quranic verse:
English Interpretation: “The night of (Qadr), i.e. Divine Decrees is Fatimah, therefore whoever knows Fatimah well has understood the Night of Divine Decrees, and the reason for Fatimah being named Fatimah (it is from the root word (فطم) 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.) is that mankind has been “Prevented from obtaining” her acquaintance!” (Bihar-al-Anwar; vol.43 p.65; no.58)
This is very unusual interpretation! Fatimah is the very Night of Divine Decrees. Anyone who really knows Fatimah as she is, has understood the Night of Divine Decrees. Very few persons have known Fatimah as she is and was.
We know that Quranic verses have a literal meaning and a figurative meaning, and many interpretations. Without a doubt the literal interpretation of the chapter “Qadr” tells of the night in which the Holy Quran was descended upon the pure heart of the Prophet, and in which the divine decrees (destinies) of human beings are ascertained for a year, according to Divine Wisdom. As such, what was said in the tradition above is a figurative interpretation of this chapter’s meaning, or the second meaning of the chapter “Qadr”.
And what a close relationship there is between the existence of “The lady of Islam” and the “Night of Divine Decrees”.
1. The Night of Divine Decrees is (the disguised or unknown of “Qadr”), undoubtedly this great Lady, who the Prophet would call a part of his flesh and reckoned her pleasure to cause God’s pleasure, and her anger God’s anger, is also the disguised or unknown of Qadr.
2. The Night of “Qadr” is hidden among the nights of the year (According to the reports of the religions great ones, it is hidden among three nights the 19th, 21st, and 23rd of Ramadan). 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.
3. The Night of “Qadr” is better than one thousand night 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 is also the source for the luminosity of the guardianship and Imamat and also divine knowledge and wisdom.
5. 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 “Waly-al-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 deems it necessary for all of us to strive harder in knowing her, and obtaining greater benefit from the blessings of her radiance. [jafariyanews]

Surah e Qadr ka yeh nara hai
Surah e Qadr ka yeh nara hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Jis ko mukhtar e amar kehtay hain
Jis ki ratoon ko qadar kehtay hain
Subho ko jiski fajr kehtay hain
Shaam ko jis ki asr kehtay hain
Har zamanay pay jiska kabza hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Qadr jisko sada kaza nay kaha
Sayada jis ko Murtaza nay kaha
Apni maa jis ko Mustafa nay kaha
Kanzay maghfi jisay Khuda nay kaha
Jis ki chokhat pay Kaaba jhukta hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Jiskay dar say ho har aata ko aata
Inama ki amaan ka hai gosha
Kul kafa jiska khud gawah bana
Fateha kar rahi hai jiski sana
Pura Quran hee qasida hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Jiski chadar ko aasman kehiye
Apnay bachoon ka sahiban kehiye
Isko alhumd ka nishaan kahiye
Hashr ki dhoop main amaan kahiye
Kulay emaan ka jo musala hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Jiska baba Rasul aashiq e Rab
Jiskay baitay Hassan Hussain lakab
Yeh jahan main hai sab say acha nasab
Jiska shohar Ali ameer e Arab
Surah e Noor jiska shajrah hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Yeh gharana sakhi mila humko
Isi ghar say Nabi mila humko
Har wasih, har wali mila ham ko
Eik wali kiya, Ali mila hum ko
Isi ghar say Khuda bhi paya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Jiska aik baita hai Imam e Hassan
Aik baita Hussain Shah e Zaman
Aik Abbas mislay kila shikan
Jisnay seekha Ali say jang e kafan
Jiska darya pay aab bhi kabza hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Ghazi bola mizaj kehr main hai
Mera hum pala koun shehr main hai
Piyas ka sad e bab nehr main hai
Nehr yeh Syeda kay mehr main hai
Mehr yeh khud Khuda nay rakha hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
Dar pay jo sar jhuka nahin sakta
Deen e majid woh pa nahin sakta
Har koi dar ko paa nahin sakta
Aira ghaira tou aa nahin sakta
Malakul Maut aa kay rukta hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai
Aap kya janey Fatima kya hai.
