The esma, the Name or attribute of Fettah means to
open. In both the spiritual and the material world of a person Allah
will surely open everything. We are going to do the tefekkur,
the contemplative meditation, of this and insh'Allah, with
Allah's permission, I am going to open on the subject of this esma.
The honored Name of Fettah, the
Opening, in the Dictionary of the Quran, comes from the root fetih
and Fettah is its attribute. It comes from opening and it
means the Opener. Opening implies many different meanings. For
example, there is opening a box, there is opening a closed door,
opening anything that is closed. But the meaning of opening in the Quran
is the opening of the heart, the opening of the thoughts and the
opening of spiritual goodness and beauty. So the esma of Fettah
is announcing this opening. And the meaning in Tasawwuf, in
Sufism, is the opening of ilmi ledun, the mystical knowledge
in the heart, and to bring it out into the open and to reflect this
into daily life. This is the opening of the esma of Fettah
amoung people.
This attribute of Allah is working on all
of the people of this world. If you know this or you do not know it,
this attribute is working inside of you. If we look around us, Allah
has opened everything and from every place that he has opened He is
showing this beauty and goodness to us. He has hidden nothing from
us. He has opened it for us; we have hidden it. And how did we hide
it? With the negativity of our thoughts we have hidden this. So if
we continue on this esma of Fettah of Allah, if we do
the zikr, the remembrance, and the tefekkur, the
meditation, of this, then these beauties that Allah has opened for
us will open inside of us and we will see this, too.
