AL-FATTAH - He Who Opens All Things. He is the One by Whose concern everything that is closed is opened, and (the One) by Whose guidance everything that is obscure is made manifest. At times He causes kingdoms to be opened (i.e., conquered) for His prophets, and He takes them out of the hands of His enemies and says, "LO! We have given thee, (O Muhammad), a signal victory (literally, opening), that God may forgive thee. At times He lifts the screen from the hearts of His friends, and He opens to them the gates to the kingdom of His heaven and the beauty of His grandeur. He says, "That which God openeth unto mankind of mercy none can withhold it." The one in whose hand are the keys to the invisible world, as well as the keys to the means of sustenance, he is the one who is truly worthy of being an opener. An Admonition: In order that man might have a portion of the name al-fattah it is necessary that he longs for the time when he will reach the stage where the locks upon the divine problems are opened by his tongue, and those religious and worldly subjects which have been difficult for mankind will become easy by means of his knowledge.
