Fadak: Difference between revisions

'''Fadak''' (Arabic: {{ia|فدك}}) a village in [[Hijaz]], [[Saudi Arabia]], had lush gardens with date palm trees which was located near [[Khaybar]]. [[Abu Bakr]] and [[Lady Fatima (a)]] disagreed on the rightful ownership of Fadak. According to historical reports, after Muslims conquered [[Khaybar]] castles, based on the peace treaty, half of the gardens and farming fields were given to [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] by the Jews. As Fadak was conquered in peace, according to the [[Qur'an|Holy Qur'an]] it was particularly owned by Prophet Muhammad (s). As ordered by the Prophet (s), the revenue from Fadak was given to the poor, particularly the needy of [[Banu Hashim]]. According to historical reports, after some time Prophet Muhammad (s) gave Fadak to Lady Fatima (a) as a gift. After the Prophet (s) passed away, Abu Bakr confiscated Fadak. The [[Sermon of Fadakiyya]] was delivered by Lady Fatima (a) in order to complain about this incident, and Abu Bakr refused to give it back to Lady Fatima (a). For many centuries, the garden of Fadak was frequently given back to and retaken from the descendants of Lady Fatima (a). Today Fadak is located in a city called al-Ha'it.
