Allahs Beautiful Names #18 Key To Open Every Door Of Success – Al Fattah

Al Fata' the perpetual opener.

This is a name

that everybody who cares about a person

accepting

Islam should use and call upon. Al Fata'

is the perpetual opener. He's the one who

unlocks our hearts, unlocks our minds, and unlocks

the opportunities in front of us. And it

appears in Surah Saba when Allah says

Our Lord will bring us together, then he

will judge between us in truth, and he

is the knowing judge.

Al Fattah is the one who unlocks guidance.

The first meaning of Al Fattah that I

want you to know is that he is

the one who unlocks guidance. In the hadith

reported by Muslim, the prophet

said that Allah

said,

Oh my servants, all of you are misguided,

except those who I guided. So ask me

for guidance, and I will guide you. The

stories of the conversions of the companions are

too many to count, and the ways where

they were guided were just as varied. There

were those who Islam entered into their hearts

due to hearing the Quran, like.

There were those who accepted Islam because of

rational arguments such

as There were those who accepted Islam because

of

emotion

and protective instinct over their family, like Hamzib

ibn Abdul Muqtareb. Allah is a and he's

the one who opens the hearts to guidance.

So this is a name to be pronounced

on the tongue of anybody who wants guidance

for someone

or for themselves. The mother who worries constantly

about her children, fearing their distance from the

deen, calls out to

unlock their hearts to guidance. The convert who's

tasted the sweetness of faith and wants it

to be sweeter still by having their family

members join them in the truth that they've

discovered. And, yes, the superfan who follows this

athlete or influencer or personality and is so

impressed by them and supports them should realize

that the greatest support they could ever give

them is to ask Allah

to open their hearts to what will give

them happiness in this life and the next.

Is the one who opens up our hearts

to guide us. But number 2, is the

one who opens up the gates of mercy.

And so when you enter into the Masjid,

you say,

oh, Allah open up for me the gates

of your mercy because the masajid are the

the embassies of Jannah. They're the places where

you expect to experience mercy from

And these are the most beloved places to

Allah. And it's not a place that you

enter for any benefit of the dunya. Al

Fata' is the one who opens up the

gates of mercy and messaged our beautiful places

where you experience it. So number 3, Al

Fata' is the one who opens up the

gates of his bounty. And so when you're

actually leaving the Masjid, then you say,

Allah open for me the gates of your

bounty. Because when you're going out into the

world, I've left the masjid, the masjid is

a place of mercy. It's not a place

with the dunya. But when I go out

to the dunya, I wanna conquer the dunya.

I wanna be successful in every avenue of

human endeavor. If I'm a student, I wanna

be incredibly successful in my studies. Whatever realm

of endeavor I am in, I wanna go

out into this world and I wanna be

excellent in it. And so you ask as

you're leaving the Masjid, you say,

and Allah

says

This dichotomy

is very beautifully presented in Surat Al Jumah.

Allah says, when the call for prayer has

been done, then leave the dunya and come

to the remembrance of Allah

But Allah says,

When the prayer has been concluded,

disperse within the land and seek from the

bounty of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

And remember Allah

a lot.

That you may be successful. So when you

leave the Masjid, you wanna go out and

you wanna seek the world, wanna seek the

bounty of Allah

and when you're leaving, you say,

or you say,

Oh, Allah, I'm asking you from your bounty

because now you want to go out into

this world. You wanna achieve your ambitions. So

you ask Allah

to grant you that bounty. Number 4, is

the one who opens up the gates of

knowledge and understanding. When you look at some

of the greatest and most prolific scholars in

the history of Islam, we would do well

to recognize that they didn't just rely on

their brilliance, but sought understanding and knowledge from

Allah.

As Shafi'i, he complained to Waqi'i, his teacher

famously, about his weakness of his memory, and

he

was told by Waqiya to leave sins, and

he codified it in poetry. He said,

says, I complained to about the poorness of

my memory, and leaving sins is what he

guided me to address. And he told me

that this knowledge is light, and the light

of Allah is not given to those who

transgress. And Sheikh whose

memory was also incredible,

he didn't rely though on his own intelligence.

And if something was unclear to him, he

would say,

Oh you who taught Adam and Ibrahim, teach

me. And oh you who gave Suleyman understanding,

give me understanding. Because Allah

says,

Allah gave Adam the knowledge of the names.

And Allah

says, we gave Suleyman understanding of an issue.

And so he's

invoking Allah

Like you gave them understanding, give me understanding.

Like you gave them knowledge, give me knowledge.

The point here is that he's sourcing his

knowledge from Allah

He's sourcing knowledge from Al Fata'a. This is

a name to be requested by every writer,

every creative, every artist, every student,

everyone who's standing at the gates of knowledge

or understanding. And finally,

is the one who guides us at the

end. The prophet

says, if Allah desires good for a person,

he sweetens them. He said, how are they

sweetened, You Rasulullah?

He said, Allah opens.

He opens for them an act of goodness

before they pass away, and then he takes

them upon the action. Finally, how does a

person engage with this name?

Number 1, Tuhhid, the prophet

said, there's never a person who sincerely says,

there's nothing worthy of worship except Allah, except

that the doors of the heavens are open

for them until that statement ascends to the

throne as long as they avoid the major

sins. And the hadith is reported by Timothy.

Also number 2, taqwa. Allah

says, if the people of the towns had

belief and taqwa,

we would have opened up for them from

the heavens and the earth. But they denied

the messengers, so he seized them for what

they were earning. And so iman and taqwa

become a means of the opening of the

doors of Allah's

blessings. Allah

opens up blessings from the heavens and the

earth. And so these are 2 ways, but

then there's a third, and that is to

be an unlocker of goodness. Said,

there are some people who are unlockers of

goodness and lockers of evil. And there are

some people who are lockers of goodness

and unlockers of evil. So glad tidings be

for everybody who's an unlocker of goodness and

will be for everybody who's an unlocker of

evil. May Allah

open up our hearts to guidance. May Allah

open up our hearts to understanding. And may

goodness in this life and the next.

goodness in this life and the next.
