THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 10th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Friday, 24th November, 2023). *_ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH, LET'S RELY ON HIM FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS_*. BismilLah.
AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be among those witnessing this blessed day of the week. What's your problem my dear reader? Please remember 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). Atakbiir!!!
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 astagheeth (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 keep guiding us all and protects us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
