THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 30th Jumaadal Uulaa. (Monday, 3rd of January 2022).
ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH, LET'S RELY ON HIM FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS. BismilLah.
We need to know al-Fattah when we feel that things are impossible or too difficult because ALLAH (swt) invites us to know HIM through HIS Names in any circumstances. Sheikh Al-Ghazali explained his understanding about al-Fattah, he said “ALLAH is the One by Whose concern everything that is closed is opened.” If I tell you to open the door, it must mean that the door is closed. If it is already opened, you would probably give me a funny look. So, what does this mean? ALLAH al-Fattah opens the things that are closed. Those things that seem impossible, those things that you cannot understand how they even work. A door has to be closed in order for someone to open it. ALLAH says in the Qur’an:
“Whatever mercy ALLAH opens for mankind, then none can be holding it back; and whatever HE holds back, then none can be sending it forth after HIM; And HE is The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Wise” (Qur’an, 35:2)
The second related meaning is to understand that ALLAH is al-Fattah when you embark on something new, and the journey is unknown to you. What is unknown to you is ‘closed’ in that sense. So, when you are embarking on a new journey, ask ALLAH (swt) to open the doors for you so that you do not encounter unanticipated difficulties. This could be with marriage, a new job, or even the start of business, etc. So regularly say Yaa Fattah yaa Razzaaq BiRahmatika astaqeeth (Oh, the opener of all opportunities, the Provider of Wealth, with your Mercy I seek your help with this my situation or issues).
May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protects us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
