The other possibility for naming “The Night of Qadr” is because the affairs of the days of the year are measured on that night. So, know that the truth of “Fate” and “Destiny” (Divine Decree Qadar), its quality and its stages of appearance, are of the greatest and noblest divine knowledge, and it is because of their extreme exactness and nicety that deeply thinking about them is not allowed for the human race as it causes bewilderment and straying. Therefore, this truth is to be regarded of the religious secrets and the deposits of Prophet hood, and one is to refrain from conducting scrutinizing research about it. We refer here only to a subject suiting this stage. That is, although the measurement of the affairs has been estimated from the very beginning in the knowledge of Allah, the Exalted, and it is not of the gradual matters in respect of the pure state of the divine knowledge, then, what does “Taqdir” in every year and in a particular night mean?
Know that “Fate” and “Divine Decree” are of degrees, and according to those degrees and emergences they differ in their status. The first degree is the facts that are judged and measured in His Knowledge by the manifestation in” The Holiest Emanation” in the wake of the appearance of the Names and attributes. Afterwards, by the High Pens and in the High Tablets, according to the appearance, and by the manifestation of the Act, they are ordained and confirmed. No changes and alterations may happen in these degrees. The inevitable and unchangeable decrees are the abstract facts happening in the entities and in the emergence of His Knowledge and descending to the abstract Pens and Tablets. Afterwards, the facts appear in isthmus and ideal images in other Tablets and in a lower world, which is the world of “the distinct imagination” and “the universal imagination” - the world which, according to the method of the illuminations philosophers, is called “The World of the Suspended Ideas”. In such a world changes and differences are possible to happen, or actually they do happen. After that, the evaluations and measuring take place by means of the angels in charge of the world of nature. In this Tablet of Fate there are continual changes and alterations, or rather it is, in itself, a flowing form and a passing, gradual fact. In this Tablet the facts can be strong or weak, and the movements may be swift, slow, accelerated or decreased. Nevertheless, the “near-to-Allah” aspect, the unseen aspect, of these very things- which is the aspect of suspension to Allah, and it is the form of the appearance of the “Spread Emanation” and the “Extended Shade”, and the truth of Allah's “Active Knowledge”- there can occur in it no change or alteration.
In short, all the changes, alterations, additions to the lives, and measuring (the peoples’) provisions are, as the philosophers believe, in the lawh of "the qadr of knowledge", which is "the world of ideas"- while to the writer, they are in the lawh of "the qadr of objectivity", which is the very place of the measurements- done by the angels in charge of it. Therefore, there is no objection that, as “The Night of Qadr” is the night of full attention of the “perfect guardian” and of the appearance of his heavenly sovereignty, changes and alterations may happen in it, in the world of nature through the honorable person of the “perfect guardian” and the Imam of each era and the pole of the time- who, in our time, is "Allah's Remainder" in the worlds, our Master, Patron, Imam, and Guide, the Proof, the son of al-Hassan al-Askari, may our souls be ransom for his coming. So, he may accelerate or slow any individual part of nature that he desires, and enlarge or straiten any provision he wills. And this will is that of the Haqq, and is the shadow and the rays of the Eternal Will and follows the Divine commands, as the angels of Allah, too, can do nothing by themselves. Every act, rather every particle of existence, is of Allah and of His unseen grace:" So keep straight as you are commanded."
