- As Laylatul Qadr is one night but is better than a thousand nights,Fatima is a person but is Ummah and the Prophet ‘s Kosar.
- As Laylatul Qadr worshiping is such as worshiping thirty thousand nights,knowing of Fatima Zahra is rewarded as laylatul Qadr worshiping and knowing Fatima cause knowing Laylatul Qadr.
- As in Laylatul Qadr,Qur’an was revealed,from ‘Fatima Zahra’,eleven Immaculates,eleven Imams and eleven Qur’an Orators has been revealed.
- As Laylatul Qadr has sublime degrees,hazrat Fatima has sublime degrees,too.
- And as Laylatul Qadr is still hidden among three nights,hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA) ‘s grave is hidden probably in three places: her house, Jannat al-Baqi, the distance between sanctuary and pulpit.
