Fadak is located in Hijaz, 160 Km from [[Medina]]. Although it is situated in the dry lands of al-Harra, it is covered with date palms and provided land for gardens and farming. In the early Islamic period, Jews resided there. The Shamrukh castle was located near Fadak, which was strategically regarded as the main military base for the Jews. Reports state that the Jewish people were living there until the time of [['Umar b. al-Khattab]], the second caliph, who ordered them to evacuate the region. | Fadak is located in Hijaz, 160 Km from [[Medina]].
