Today 14 Dhul-Hijjah happens to be the day when the holy prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) gifted the land of Fadak to his daughter Fatima (peace upon her). Fadak is located in Hijaz, 160 Km from Medina. Although it is situated in the drylands of al-Harra, it is covered with date palms and provided land for gardens and farming. During the emergence of Islam, the fertile soil and rich water sources allowed Fadak to be rich in date palms and other gardens.
