As long as man continues to live, he will have a story of sorrow to share, stories of doors that have closed after they were open, or doors that simply will not open in their lives. During those inevitable moments of weakness, there can be no better way of rekindling the flame of hope within one\u2019s heart other than by retreating to All\u0101h\u2019s Names, and in the specific case described above, His Majestic Name Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25.
This name of All\u0101h has appeared only once in the Qur\u2019\u0101n, where He said:
\u0642\u064f\u0644\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0639\u064f \u0628\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0641\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062d\u064f \u0628\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0641\u064e\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0627\u062d\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064f
\u201cSay, \u2018Our Lord will bring us together; then He will judge between us in truth. And He is Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25, the All-Knowing.\u2019\u201d[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-R\u0101ghib said:
\u201cAl-Fat\u1e25 is the removal of closure and problems, and this takes two forms. The first: one which is observable by sight, like the opening of a door, as All\u0101h said: \u201cAnd when they opened (fata\u1e25u) their luggage\u2026\u201d[2]
The second: one that is observable by insight, such as the opening of relief from grief. This also takes forms:
(a) In matters of life, such as the removal of grief or alleviation of poverty. All\u0101h said: \u201cWe would have opened up (fat\u0101\u1e25na) for them blessing from the heavens and the earth\u2026\u201d[3]
(b) In matters of knowledge, such as the removal of barriers from one\u2019s understanding.\u201d[4]
It is therefore apparent that in order to engage in the fat\u1e25 of something, logic dictates that it must be closed. Al-R\u0101ghib mentions that those elements that need unlocking are both inward and outward as well as material and immaterial.
With this understanding, it can now be asked: who is All\u0101h, Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25?
Taking a look at what the scholars have said, one can summarise the answer by saying that Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all of these explanations, the concept of unlocking something that was previously locked applies; a judge who unlocks the truth of a case that was locked; the unlocking of provisions after it was locked; the unlocking of blind eyes to the truth; and the unlocking of victory from the claws of defeat. In short, He is The One who opens up every difficulty previously thought of as impossible to be unlocked.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Some find that their hearts have been opened towards acts of worship. How is it that some are far more inclined than others to pray, fast, recite the Qur\u2019\u0101n, pray in congregation, and plan for their Islam? It is because the degree to which All\u0101h has opened hearts to do this varies from person to person.

\u201cAll\u0101h has distributed the actions of good deeds between people the same way He has distributed the provisions between them, and so a person\u2019s heart may be opened towards prayer but has not been [opened] towards fasting, whilst a second person\u2019s heart may be opened towards charity but not towards fasting, whilst another\u2019s may be opened towards Jihad but is not towards prayer. The teaching of knowledge is one of the most rewarding good deeds and I am satisfied with what All\u0101h has opened for me, and I do not believe that what I am occupied with is any lesser than what you are occupied with. My hopes are that we are both upon goodness and it is incumbent upon both of us to be satisfied with what All\u0101h has blessed us with. Peace be on you.\u201d[6]
All\u0101h has opened hearts for different matters, making them more inclined to it. Man\u2019s duty, therefore, is to pinpoint it urgently and then redirect it for the cause of All\u0101h and the Hereafter.
Some find their joy in life in fasting, doing so every other day and finding it easy. Others find their joy in Du\u2019\u0101, where hours may pass without realising.

\u201cIt has happened before where \u2018\u0100mir b. \u2018Abdill\u0101h would make Du\u2019\u0101 after the \u2018Ish\u0101 prayer and would continue to do so until Fajr.\u201d[7]
\u2013 Others find that All\u0101h has opened their hearts towards the establishing of family ties. They are on good terms with every family member and their efforts towards them are consistent.
\u2013 Others find that All\u0101h has created an opening for them in the field of Dhikr\/remembrance. Abu Huraira\u2019s daily portion of Tasb\u012bh (saying \u201cSub\u1e25\u0101nAll\u0101h\u201d) was 12,000 times. Khalid b. Ma\u2019d\u0101n\u2019s portion was 40,000 times a day, excluding his recitation of the Qur\u2019\u0101n. He was seen moving his finger in remembrance after his soul had left him. Ibn H\u0101ni\u2019s portion was 100,000 times a day. In fact, Ibn Taymiyya would perform the Fajr prayer then would remain sat down remembering All\u0101h until around just before noon time, when he would say: \u201cThis is my lunch. If I don\u2019t have it, my strength forsakes me.\u201d
\u2013 Others find that their opening in life is through helping the needy, feeding the hungry, sponsoring orphans, supporting widows, visiting the ill, and alleviating people\u2019s burdens.

\u201cThe service by Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyya) of others was enormous, as he knew that the more he helped others, the more All\u0101h will help him.

They have no real happiness or joy, as opposed to the energetic ones and people of hard work, regardless of the nature of that work.\u201d[8]

Others find that openings in their lives culminate in their opinions; All\u0101h allows the truth to flow from their mouths, constantly guiding them to choose the best of options.
The Prophet (sall All\u0101hu \u02bfalayhi wa sallam) said:
\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064e\u0628\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0645\u0650 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u062f\u0651\u064e\u062b\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0643\u064f \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0623\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u062a\u0650\u064a \u0623\u064e\u062d\u064e\u062f\u064c \u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0639\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0631\u064f
\u201cAmong the nations who came before you there were people who were spoken to (i.e. by angels or inspired). If there are any such men among my Ummah, then \u02bfUmar ibn al-Kha\u1e6d\u1e6d\u0101b is one of them.\u201d[9]
The Prophet (sall All\u0101hu \u02bfalayhi wa sallam) would say about him:
\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064e \u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0644\u0650\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0646\u0650 \u0639\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650
\u201cAll\u0101h has placed the truth on the tongue of \u02bfUmar and his heart.\u201d[10]
This is why Umar\u2019s rulings were so frequently in line with those of All\u0101h, as Ibn Hajar said:
\u0648\u0642\u0641\u0646\u0627 \u0645\u0646\u0647\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u062e\u0645\u0633\u0629 \u0639\u0634\u0631 \u0645\u0648\u0636\u0639\u0627\u064b
\u201cWe have come across 15 such circumstances.\u201d
Others find that their openings in life culminate in the enjoining of good and forbidding of evil, not fearing the repercussions of their mission and displaying patience and wisdom. All\u0101h allows much goodness to appear on the land through this work.
The signs of Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 are not exclusive to the world of Islam and worship. They extend to every avenue of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>In 1928, Alexander Fleming, a professor of bacteriology, returned to his lab after a vacation. While sorting through his Petri dishes of colonies of the bacteria Staphylococcus, he noticed that mould had started to grow on these dishes. Looking for what colonies he could salvage from those infected with the mould, he noticed something intriguing. Bacteria were not growing around the mould. The mould in fact turned transpired to be a rare strain of Penicillium notatum that secreted a substance inhibiting bacterial growth. Penicillin was introduced in the 1940s, commencing the era of antibiotics.
Who was the one who guided him to this? It was Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25.
In 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen was working with a cathode ray tube. Despite the fact that the tube was covered, he noticed that a nearby fluorescent screen would glow when the tube was on in the dark. The rays were somehow illuminating the screen. Roentgen tried to block the rays, but most things he placed in front of them did not seem to make a difference. When he placed his hand in front of the tube, he noticed that he could see his bones in the image that was projected on the screen. He replaced the tube with a photographic plate to capture the images, creating the first x-ray images. The technology was soon adopted by medical institutions and research departments.
Who was the one who guided him to this? It was Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25.
In fact, statistics show that 50% of all discoveries happen accidentally.[11] Perhaps this is one of the secrets of why the name Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 comes side by side with the Al-\u2018Al\u012bm (the All-Knowing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The signs of Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 also appear in Muslims who find themselves advancing the causes of justice. We have seen this in the past, where Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 assisted the Prophet Muhammad (sall All\u0101hu \u02bfalayhi wa sallam) and his companions until the entirety of the Arabian Peninsula made its way to the fold of Islam. Again, Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 was with them during their conquests of Persia, Rome, Egypt, and other places. Until this day, Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 continues to support His allies, whether we realise it or not, and till the end of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>If one were to survey the reasons that inspired repentance in people, many will share an experience where an opportunity was made to open for them without any prior preparation. A young contemporary Egyptian man said that he once embarked on a train journey from Cairo to Alexandria with the intention of perpetrating one of the most heinous sins. He found himself sat next to a young man who was reciting the Qur\u2019\u0101n. He said, \u201cAll\u0101h made me hear one of those verses which he was reciting:
\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062e\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062e\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0625\u0650\u0630\u0652 \u064a\u064f\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0651\u0650\u062a\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650
\u201cThey may hide from men, but they cannot hide from All\u0101h, for He is with them when they plot by night in words that which He does not approve\u2026\u201d[12]
He continued to cry until he arrived at Alexandria. He got off the train and the first thing he did was book a ticket back home, and this was the beginning of his repentance. Who was the One who opened this opportunity for this young man? It was Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>At times, All\u0101h closes certain doors in order to open up others, which, without that trial, would never have opened. Health deteriorates, a loved one passes away, finances plummet, reputation is tarnished \u2013 all of which cause one to make a retreat to All\u0101h in desperation. This boosts \u012bm\u0101n in ways that could not have been achieved in normal circumstances. During testing times when doors shut, Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25 opens doors that are far greater.
Ibn Taymiyya sent a letter to his students from his prison in Alexandria. In his letter, he wrote:

\u201cI am \u2013 by All\u0101h The Mighty, besides whom none has the right to be worshipped \u2013 indulging in blessings from All\u0101h, the likes of which I have never seen before in my entire life. All\u0101h has opened for me from the doors of his bounty, favours, and stores of His generosity and mercy which my mind and imagination could never have expected.\u201d
Whether one is struggling to find a job despite his many financial responsibilities, or a spouse despite his loneliness, or a marital relationship that he is desperate to mend, or an enemy that is on his back, or liars who are threatening to tarnish his pure track record, or any other door that seems permanently locked \u2013 who does one have in life other than Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25?
When the narrative of others is one of despair, that \u201cthere is no solution\u201d or \u201cthere is nothing we can do about it\u201d, the narrative of the Muslim should be \u201cO All\u0101h, you are Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25, so open up those matters in my life that people are claiming cannot be opened.\u201d
In fact, man has no idea of how many doors have been opened by Allah, without being asked, after they were vaulted shut, so how would it be had one asked?
\u201cYa Fatt\u0101\u1e25, open up the heart of my child to \u012bm\u0101n.\u201d
\u201cYa Fatt\u0101\u1e25, open up the opportunity for marriage for such and such.\u201d
\u201cYa Fatt\u0101\u1e25, open up the truth between me and my enemy.\u201d
\u201cYa Fatt\u0101\u1e25, open up my mind to the correct understanding of this D\u012bn.\u201d
\u201cYa Fatt\u0101\u1e25, open up my heart to live for Islam and to prepare a project of a good deed that will please You of me on the Day of Reckoning.\u201d
One ought to think about all what he requires in this world and the next. Then, one ought to realise that All\u0101h has the key to that door. Excessive thinking and stressing over matters is not what opens doors; rather it is persistent Du\u2019\u0101 by His name, Al-Fatt\u0101\u1e25.
Finally, when the opportunities to do good open up in one\u2019s life, every effort should be made to act upon them, as they could be tests from All\u0101h. If such tests are not passed, such opportunities may never come about again.
