Mohammad Elshinawy – Access Granted – Allahs Name al-Fattah

			Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us when entering the masjid to say, Allahu miftah.
And the abueva hermetic among the supplications is, Oh Allah, open up for me, the gates or the doors
of your mercy.
		

			And this may, you know, require some reflection of us because of everyone on Earth. Those that are
at the most blessed it the most potent for mercy places on Earth, are you because you're in his
Masjid? There's no better place on earth to access Allah's Mercy right than his house. So then why
do we still say Oh Allah, after you're here, grant me access to your mercy.
		

			Perhaps of the benefits here is to recognize that nothing will inherently grant you Allah's Mercy
without his help. Even the masjid itself right. Even the Quran itself you begin it in the name of
Allah's Mercy Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. So that he may open up for you the gates of mercy through
the Quran, right through your attendance in the masjid. That means we are forever locked away from
our own well being. We have no access, we can't strong arm any of it. We can't will it's into
there's no hack for this stuff. You know, you don't have access to Allah's Mercy unless He grants it
the default is that it's not inherently entitled to you it's not and that is why the Quran says May
		

			after he left holy Nassima Rama in Fela, mumsie Kala when you seek Fela Musa whom embody the that
whenever Allah opens up the gates of mercy for someone, no one can withhold that mercy from reaching
that person or that group of people, and what he does withhold, nobody can ever unlock it.
		

			And so I want to pause in these few minutes and see we cannot overlook this treasure we cannot let
life pass us by without recognizing what Allah wants us to recognize that everything is out of
reach, and everything is locked away and everything is a dead end. Except what he who have His names
is heightened factory in the best of openers permits for you unlocks for you opens up for you.
		

			You know, but you also want to recognize that in this ayah Allah began with what the fact that he
opens doors not that the doors are locked, right whatever door Allah opens of His mercy, nobody can
withhold withhold it because he is constantly opening he is not just claimed on fat to hand, the
best of openers that's it of His Names in the Quran. But he is Alfetta and the meaning of Allah His
name Alfetta as opposed to hiding the fact that hey, in the best of openers. Alfetta is the one that
is constantly opening up doors for you. Constantly unlocking constantly removing hurdles, constantly
easing your path, day and night recognize it or don't awake or asleep Muslim or Gafford Allah's
		

			unlocking. He loves to unlock and he's always unlocking so Anahata Isla, and what he unlocks, nobody
can ever get in the way of I remember one of my preferred authors I was reading for him a
contemporary scholar who said that his friend, the doctor said to his friend, take your daughter or
they said your nice home and just let her be at peace. She has like six weeks max, just let her
young girl so they took her home and they listen to the doctor try our best to ever
		

			conclude her life in the most peaceful way. He says the author It has been two years since the
doctor said it is a dead end there is no hope. Just take her home and it's been two years she's
still alive. And both the doctors presiding over that patient have both since died.
		

			He's the one who unlocks doors and he's the one that closes doors subhanho wa Taala he always wasn't
always will be. You know you even think of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we often read it
that Yeah, and also Allah he will forget when the victory of Allah came and the fats, the fats,
here's the conquest of Mecca, but it's Oh, it's called the fats because it is was utterly locked. It
was sealed shut 2000 years, the toxic tribalism, the petty feuds have caused sub tribes of Arabia to
go extinct finish each other off for for no reason. For no reason, beneath childish reasons, just
vendettas and vengeance that started with you know, someone bumped someone somewhere right, and they
		

			just ricocheted into mayhem. They would refuse to accept unity refused to accept it.
		

			East and somehow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 2000 years later Allah opens up for him.
He grants him access to unify all of Arabia under a centralized leadership, sal Allahu Allahu alayhi
wa sallam.
		

			Or you look at the people whose hearts were unlocked very unlikely like I'm one of them hubbub when
someone felt that there was a soft spot and Omar the persecutor Omar, before he was about the hola
hola and her husband said to her, like, are you crazy? Are you like hopefully he's gonna become
Muslim. Like she said to her, his dad's donkey will become Muslim before he becomes Muslim
		

			does not mean to become Muslim. And Allah unlock the the heart of Omar and Omar didn't just become
any Muslim, may Allah be pleased with him, right? The right hand man of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu
was Salam after Abu Bakr or to find it in the armor to fight him. The AMA was another, you know,
distinguished chief in Arabia of another tribe outside of college. When he came to Mecca, they sort
of ran to him and said, Don't listen to Muhammad. Listen to Muhammad, he's gonna like brainwash you,
he's gonna entranced you and you're Don't listen to him. So he got so worked up by you know, that
the fear they were stoking that He locked his ears. He took cotton or whatever, he could find any
		

			plug in his ears. So he wouldn't hear a word that Muhammad had to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
and then he enters Mecca. And as he's circling around the Kaaba, Allah opened up, right lightbulb
moment, he opened up the right idea for the foil. It's like, how dare they tell me I'm gonna get
tricked by Muhammad, that he felt insulted. Allah azza wa jal opened up that emotion inside him. I'm
a grown man, I'm a respected leader. I'm a poet. He's not gonna, you know, sell me some lie. And so
he unplugged his ears. And he listened to what the prophet Eileen Sato said and had to say, and he
heard about the basic values of Islam called brutal hija. And he said, There's nothing better than
		

			what you're saying, well, Muhammad, I'm on your program, I'm on your project. I'm with you. I'm
accepting this religion.
		

			I even remember reading at that at the eye on sort of thought that when Allah said, Whatever mercy
He opens up for someone, nobody could stop it. And whatever mercy with he withholds, nobody could
send it. This was a Muslim political prisoner. That was very affluent before he went to prison. He
was aristocratic, wealthy, all of this. And so he's felt the top and the bottom of life, right? He
says, I swear by Allah, I have experienced more bursts of Allah's mercy in this prison sell a
fulfillment and joy and happiness, contentment, when none of the instruments of that are here,
right? I don't I'm, I'm lonely. I'm scared, I'm cold, it's tight. All of that nothing's here. Right?
		

			He says, then I have ever felt outside of prison when I had my family around. And it was in my house
with my family had the respect and the prestige. He said Subhanallah and you see that people that
have the instruments of happiness, but it is locked away from them. It's so close but so far, and
some people that seemingly have no access to it, but Allah al Fatah, the opener grants access, they
have full access to it like never before.
		

			And this is why you know, even though clay and Rahim Allah Allah he says something very beautiful
about Allah's Name and Fatah, the perpetual opener that Allah loves to open and the default the
norm, the rule of thumb is that he's opening not closing, right? It's not like Allah, whatever Allah
opens or whatever Allah closes into 5050 No, he's saying the norm is Allah is always opening, he's
so generous, Subhana Allah to Allah. And he gives an example he has look, Allah opens for the human
being one means of sustenance, when they're in the mother's womb, which is that single umbilical
cord, they get everything through there and everything is removed for just one source of life. He
		

			says, then a time comes, it's called childbirth gets shut down, Allah closes that door, to open two
doors, instead of it, the two pathways of the mother's milk
		

			and then that those two doors serve their function, until the child eventually gets weaned off, and
he doesn't want the milk anymore, and that gets shut down. When the day comes, that Allah shuts down
those two doors. This interest the child or interrupts the production, it is to open four doors in
their place,
		

			which is what he says every drink boils down to water or milk, or a combination of the two, or that
is their base, right? And all food boils down to meat and vegetation. They're all combinations of
them or either or,
		

			he says, and then a person is has those doors opened for them for a lifetime, however long they're
destined to live, and Allah only closes those doors. So that if you are a believer, I'm granting you
now access to Paradise, which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, has eight doors.
		

			And so Allah does not close doors as much as he opens doors and for the believer especially he
		

			He closed his doors only to open more doors to understand that, and there are so many examples of
this beyond the scope of this multiple.
		

			But it's our job to pause and recognize Allah who wants to open doors for you and Allah already is
opening doors for you all the time. And that had it not been for him to write for you that raindrop
had him not to write for you that dollar amount that it is it would not have come it is locked away,
worth not for a factor.
		

			And he wants to Isn't it enough that the greatest surah in the Quran is al Fatiha, the opening
chapter through which you ask Allah for his blessing. So open up the blessings in your life through
this surah? By repeating it day in and day out? Isn't that an indication? Isn't it enough that Allah
grants you access around the clock to your own body access to benefit from the oxygen access every
time the valve of your heart opens and closes right access to the pathways when the blood leaves the
heart to get to your eyes or wherever else it needs to supply with that. The times that Allah opens
up for you the tightness of your chest and you don't even know why how're you doing today?
		

			hamdulillah I'm getting better. Why what changed? It's just getting better. Right? They're all the
worst days you've ever experienced. It was at when it you first experienced that and then somehow it
tapers off somehow the tightness opens up who did that? Why did that happen? That was just the
generosity of Allah subhanho wa Taala there are so many times where your income was interrupted or
in jeopardy, and some of those times you didn't even recognize who opened up a new alternative for
you for the continuity of your income that was fantastic Hannah Hola Hola.
		

			Hola Hola. Hello stuff from Allah Allah Emily welcome
		

			Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Milena we about that shadow Allah Allah illallah wa Hola,
Cherie Keller, who are shadow under Mohammed and Abdullah, who whenever you who are pseudo,
		

			I want to try to leave you have three points, takeaways
		

			from revisiting or learning here and now, you know, this great name of Allah, Allah subhanho wa
taala. The first of them is that you need to recognize that the greatest doors Allah opens are the
doors of guidance, and we're all locked out of them without him.
		

			It's not because you were born Muslim. It's not because, you know, you decided to become Muslim.
It's not because you're so intelligent. It's not right or wrong.
		

			You know, one thing, the truth is very different than finding the truth.
		

			I was, you know, coming across this academic professor who is, you know, a specialist in his field,
outside of what I'm about to mention, you know, you would be impressed by him.
		

			He goes on to describe at great lengths that the Quran is mentioning things that are absolutely
humanly impossible for anyone to know, 1400 years ago, archaeologically speaking, we dug up stuff
later, or the Bible Manuscripts finally, you know, surfaced or got translated and then so all this
stuff, you measure it all up, there's no way the Quran, simply Muhammad there had to be divine
origin. Of course, we know this, right? The Quran is a miracle, but he's saying the Quran is facts
could not be 1400 years ago, no man could know that. And therefore all the historians are wrong. The
Quran must have been much later than that. Look at how he took it. Right? The Quran must have been
		

			500 years ago. Right? It's all a trans historical conspiracy. Everybody everywhere, you know, is
unintelligent, and I figured it out. It's from Allah right? There are people who know Islam better
than you more intelligence than you
		

			have higher IQs than you but Allah didn't open that door for them, but he opened it for you.
		

			Yes, he opened it for everyone in the sense that he made the truth available. Interestingly, inside
his body, it is stated that of what remains from the signs are the foretelling of Mohammed in the
previous scripture. That's our Ah, it says that Allah will not pull his soul sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, the Sahaba said we found like leftovers from the Torah that said, While any Akbar Allahu
Allah who had the Ulema be humiliated, Elijah, Allah who will not allow him to die until he corrects
using him salAllahu alayhi wasallam the crooked path the right way of God clarifies it for the
world, so the truth would be available. And it actually says, Well, if to he'll be he at a union or
		

			OMYA and opening up with its eyes that we're blind blind from guidance, you can't get it If Allah
doesn't show it to you, right.
		

			And ears that are deaf and hearts that are as hard as the stones of the mountains around them. Allah
open all those passes.
		

			abilities up by providing the message to the world. Their souls were locked in shidduch locked up in
superstition and all of that. But that was just part of it. Availability isn't all. The fact that
Allah opens up for you that is of the heart provides for your heart, the humility and the guidance
to accept it. That is the number one reason why you should be enamored, you should adore al Fatah,
the opener subhanaw taala. Day and night there are reasons for you to lose your faith. But he's
opening up for you reasons to stay on the faith, new reasons, new motivation. That's the first
point. The second of them, appreciate how Allah has opened unique doors for you. You know, Imam
		

			Malik Ibn Anas Rahim Allah used to say, Allah sometimes opens up for someone a big share of prayer
and not fasting. I have it in me to pray the whole night, but I can't fast right meaning the
voluntary fasting, extra fasting. And some people Allah opens the door of sadaqa. For them they're
capable of sadaqa and not, he says and Allah opens for some people the door of jihad, to sacrifice
even their own lives, but they can do other things. Subhan Allah, He says Allah Kasam he divided
when he opened up and he distributed your actions the same way he divides your risk, your sustenance
your livelihoods. So see what Allah has portioned for you and be content and appreciative of that.
		

			He says, Allah has granted me certain knowledge other people didn't have the chance sort of to
develop this.
		

			He says and I'm content with what Allah gave me so be content appreciate and when you ask of him use
that name, the name of Alfetta ofa tech you've always been opening doors for me open for me this
door open for me that door whenever you're stuck. You have a work decision. You have a family
dilemma say yeah, for Allah I'm at a roadblock I'm at a dead end open up this door for me.
		

			You know Allah's name Al Fatah has also about as we said, unanticipated difficulties you think
you're in the masjid and it's mission accomplished. No, there's things that may deprive you of
opportunity even if it's right in front of you. And also Allah's Name and Fatah has to open up for
you ways to work through the difficulty after it lands students when you're in exams you're
struggling you know many people are there study they're ready they're top of their class the exam
starts they draw blank from anxiety or whatever other reason stop pause so ya Allah open up the
pockets of my brain helped me understand.
		

			It is said that even the Tamia Rahim Allah Allah who was you know, a truly distinguished scholar, a
unique scholar in Islamic history among the many great scholars Allah has blessed this OMA with
whenever he would get stuck on an issue trying to understand something skill us scholarly, you know,
you know, high level subject or point he would go to an abandoned Masjid to show his poverty in
front of Allah away from everybody and seek forgiveness and say, Oh, teacher of Ibrahim teach me
right who turned the lights on for Ibraheem Alehissalaam there was nobody there. He was only believe
on the face of the earth. So you're saying Oh, teacher of Ibrahim, who had no teachers on the
		

			ground? Teach me yeah MUFA him so like manna for him? Me?
		

			Oh, you who gave grant understanding to suit a man to Solomon grant, we understand who did Solomon
Ali Salam have Allah points out in the Quran that time his teacher was his father that will David
and he was correcting his father here and there and right. And all you who granted understanding
without the instruments to suit a man grant me understanding. You know what it said? And I'm running
out of time here. It is said that you know, in the Hotjar, who has the crown commentary, all
scholars throughout history recognize there's no commentary on slate * Buhari that could ever do.
You know, the commentary of Niger, if Mahajan called that world famous commentary on Slack and
		

			Buhari, the most reliable Hadith book, he called it FETs will bury the opening of our Creator
because he did his effort he read through it and I read through it 1013 times trying to extract
every last lesson and I realized that Allah has granted me a lot here that he hasn't granted others
and probably will not grant me any more. So I just stopped and I compiled it there and I call it the
fats what Allah has opened me up to and finally I'm gonna lob I'm gonna I'm gonna cut up the Prophet
SAW Selim said, there used to be people of the nation before you that had the throne. They just have
inspiration that just comes to them. And they're not prophets that inspiration that will overturn or
		

			overrule the Quran and Sunnah, but just divinely inspired. In another Hadith he says, Allah has
caused the truth, to flow on the tongue and heart of Omar, but there is no prophet after me. Think
about that. How did Omar to do what he did? Or Omar created a man in the desert who was an alcoholic
or not the Allah who created a superior bureaucracy in the Roman Empire out of nowhere, no
civilization, no tools, nothing. Why Allah opened that up, Allah inspired him, so call upon Allah to
inspire you
		

			You know, we often brag of Michael Hart's the 100 most influential people in the world and he puts
Muhammad Sallallahu Ireson was number one, you may not notice that a nonprofit
		

			in the middle of nowhere isolated Arabia was in the top 50. How did this happen? This is what Allah
Azza did open for him. And my closing message to you is what as you call upon Allah as Alfetta also
try to reflect that fat in your life. The Prophet SAW Selim said, Allah allows that some of his
servants are my fatty who will hide they are keys for goodness, they unlock goodness, where they
turn, and they lock evil wherever they turn, and among God's servants or those who unlock evil
wherever they turn, wherever they go. There's problems. There's hard feelings, there's discomfort.
There's misguidance, right? And they are locks on good. He said, So congratulations to those who are
		

			keys for good locks on evil. May we be of them. And he said, doomed are those who are the opposite.
May we never be over them. Allahumma Amin
