Al Fattah Quran

This Name Al-Fattah does not occur in the Holy Qur’an in this form except for once:

Say: “Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end decide the matter between us (and you) in Truth and justice: and He is the One to decide (the matters), Who knows all.

Saba 26

Al-Fattah, from the linguistic point of view, stands for the judge, who decides the matters of people, and passes his judgements between them in truth:

Our Lord! decide thou between us and our people in truth, for thou art the best to decide (the matters). (Al-A’raf 89)

When this Name is attributed to Allah Almighty, as one of His Good Characteristics, with which He describes Himself, He is, according to lbn Al-Athir, the One Who opens, by His Decision, the gates of sustenance and mercy to such of His servants as He pleases, as well as He opens the sights of His servants, to see the truth, and follow the paths of peace.

This good characteristic is related to both power and knowledge: with the help of Allah’s Power, everything that is close comes to be opened, and with the help of His Right Guidance, every difficulty that is problematic comes to be solved.

Of a surety, Allah Almighty, with His Perfect Knowledge, opens the hearts of the believers to accept faith, as well as He opens to the disobedient ones the gate of His Forgiveness.

Al Fattah Name of Allah Meaning In English

Al-Fattah is the One, Who opens, with His Decision, for his Prophets and devotees, the kingdoms and states, which He brings out of the hands of their enemies.

However, the relation which this Name AI-Fattah has with Allah’s Power is clearly manifest in His saying:

What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow on mankind there is none can withhold: what He doth withhold, there is none can grant, apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom. (Fatir 2)

Its relation with Allah’s Knowledge is shown also in His saying:

With Him are the keys of the Unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a Record clear (to those who can read). (Al-An’am 59)

Al-Fattah then is the One Who opens with His Decision not only the gates of sustenance, but it is more right to say that He is the One Who opens with His Decision and Command the gates of all things:

It is He, Who opens to the learner the way to learn well; to the scientist and scholar the way to understand the truth; to the inventor the way to devise what is beneficial to mankind; to the fighter in the Cause of Allah the way to victory; and to the one put to distress the way out of difficulty, in order to be relieved.
