Allah's Name: الفتّاح
Al-Fattah (The Greatest Judge)

➡️ Al-Fattāh, in Arabic, is the One Who opens the treasures of His dominion, mercy and provisions to whomever He wills among His servants according to His wisdom and knowledge. It also means the One Who judges between His servants justly and gives victory to His pious servants over His enemies.

➡️ This great name occurs only once in the Qur’an in this verse:

﴿قُل يَجمَعُ بَينَنا رَبُّنا ثُمَّ يَفتَحُ بَينَنا بِالحَقِّ وَهُوَ الفَتّاحُ العَليمُ﴾

"Say, Our Lord will bring us together and then He will rightly judge between us. He is the Greatest Judge, the All-Knowing" [Saba’: 26]

💎 This noble name inspires us to love Allah Almighty and aspire for what He has, for all treasures lie in His hand. Allah says, that which means: "Whatever mercy Allah accords to people, none can withhold; and whatever He withholds, no other will be able to release after Him. He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise" [Fātir: 2]

💎 Dear sister, if you find that your provisions are restricted and all doors are closed before you, turn to your Lord, Al-Fattah, and invoke Him using this great name so that perhaps He will grant you what you want, for none can actually do this but Him.

💎 Trust your Lord and be reassured about His promise and by His promise. Indeed, He helps those who help Him [His religion]. It is in this way, that the prophets received victory from Allah.

➡️ Prophet Nūh is quoted in the Qur’an to have said: "...“My Lord, indeed my people have denied me. So pass a clear judgment between me and them and rescue me and the believers with me.”[Al-Shu‘arā’: 117-118].

Further, prophet Shu‘ayb is quoted as saying,"Our Lord, judge between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who judge."[Al-A‘rāf: 89].

Thus, it was the way of the prophets to turn to Allah, Al-Fattah and seek His aide and His judgement.

Allah's Name: التّواب
At-Tawwāb (The Accepting of Repentance)

➡️ At-Tawaab is the One Who returns to His servant with approval after being angry at him and turns to him with forgiveness after punishment. He is the One Who enables His servant to repent and accepts his repentance.

➡️ This noble name occurs 11 times in the Qur’an. For
example, Allah says:

﴿فَتَلَقّى آدَمُ مِن رَبِّهِ كَلِماتٍ فَتابَ عَلَيهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ﴾

"Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He Who is the Accepting of Repentance, the Ever-Merciful" [Al-Baqarah: 37]

💎 Dear sister, always remember that the one who is most worthy of praise and extolment is Allah Almighty. We cannot extend enough praise to Him; indeed, He is as He has praised Himself. Praise your Lord for His acceptance of repentance from His servants and His vast forgiveness and pardon.

💎 When we contemplate how Allah Almighty generously accepts repentance from His servants, we feel love for Him and our despair goes away for He is the Most Beloved One.

💎 As human beings, we all sin. The Prophet(ﷺ) said: “All human beings are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who frequently repent.” [Al-Tirmidhi]. Implore Allah Almighty to make you incline to sincere repentance without delay and ask Him to accept it from you.

💎 Even our beloved Prophet ﷺ, the dearest person in Allah’s sight, practiced daily repentance, he said: “O people, repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness. Verily, I repent to Allah one hundred times a day.” [Muslim]

💎 Remember sister, people are of two types: those who are repentant ones and are forgiven and those who are deprived wrongdoers. Choose to be a repentant slave for repentance is a trait of the believer, accompanying him in all stages of life and during his entire journey.

Allah's Name: الودود
Al-Wadood (The Most Affectionate)

➡️ Al-Wadood is the Loving One Who loves His pious servants and shows affection to them through forgiveness and giving - and they love Him.

➡️ When Allah Almighty loves someone, He answers his invocations, protects him from what he fears, and makes him well accepted by people. And when a person loves Allah Almighty, he obeys Him and longs to meet Him.

➡️ This noble name occurs twice in the Qur’an. The first mention is in this verse:

﴿وَاستَغفِروا رَبَّكُم ثُمَّ توبوا إِلَيهِ إِنَّ رَبّي رَحيمٌ وَدودٌ﴾

"And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Most Merciful, Most Affectionate" [Hūd: 90]

➡️ The second mention is in the verse that reads:

﴿وَهُوَ الغَفورُ الوَدودُ﴾

"And He is the All-Forgiving, Most Affectionate" [Al-Burūj: 14]

💎 We should praise our Lord much, especially when we know that the Lord we worship is the Most Affectionate. All praise is due to Him.

💎 The wise person pursues every means that wins him the love of Allah Almighty, such as faith, kindness to people, drawing close to Him through various kinds of obligatory and voluntary acts of worship and repenting to Him from any shortcoming or mistake. Allah says that which means: "Surely Allah loves the ones constantly repenting, and He loves the ones constantly purifying themselves" [Al-Baqarah: 222]

💎 Whoever wants to taste the love of Allah Almighty should get to know the perfect attributes of His majesty and beauty and reflect upon His great bounty and favors towards His creation. In the Qur’an, He says, that which means: "And whatever favor you have - it is from Allah. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help." [Al-Nahl: 53]

💎The clearest signs of Allah’s love for a person is the person's close following of the prophet ﷺ and sincere implementation of his Sunnah. As Allah revealed: "Say [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Aali-‘Imrān: 31].

💎 When a person tastes Allah’s love, life becomes pleasant in his eyes, good deeds become easy for him and he enjoys abandonment of sins and misdeeds for the sake of his Lord. His eagerness shall continue until he sees his Lord Whose promise is sure to come.

Allah's Name: المجيد
Al-Majeed (The Most Glorious)

➡️ Allah is the One Who is Glorious in terms of His excellent names and attributes as well as His bounty and magnificence.

➡️ This great name occurs twice in the Qur’an. One in the following verse:

﴿...رَحمَتُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ عَلَيكُم أَهلَ البَيتِ إِنَّهُ حَميدٌ مَجيدٌ﴾

"May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, Most Glorious" [Hūd: 73]

➡️ The second mention of this noble name occurs in this verse:

﴿وَهُوَ الغَفورُ الوَدودُ﴾ ﴿ذُو العَرشِ المَجيدُ﴾

"And He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Affectionate, the Owner of the Throne, the Ever-Glorious" [Al-Burūj: 14-15]

💎 Since Allah Almighty is the Most Glorious and possesses tremendous magnificence and bounty, then He alone should be worshiped and turned to for the relief of distress and the fulfillment of needs.

💎 Dear sister, if you want glory and high status, get close to the Most Glorious Lord, obeying and praising Him and acting upon His Glorious Book. This is where you find true glory and status.

💎 Allah Almighty describes His Book as Most Glorious, saying: "Qāf. By the Most Glorious Qur’an." Of course it would be most glorious as it is the speech of Allah the Most Glorious. It is glorious in terms of its miracles, rulings, and blessings which are inexhaustible.

💎 We are required to glorify our Creator by frequently remembering Him, praising Him, and heeding His commands and prohibitions. Do not ever remember a created being or glorify him more than you remember and glorify the Most Glorious Creator.

Allah's Name: الحميد
Al-Hameed (The Praiseworthy)

➡️ Al-Hameed is the One Who is praised for His names, attributes and actions, and He is praised at good and bad times and in prosperity and adversity.

➡️ This noble name occurs 17 times in the Qur’an. One mention is:

﴿وَهُدوا إِلَى الطَّيِّبِ مِنَ القَولِ وَهُدوا إِلى صِراطِ الحَميدِ﴾

"They were guided to the pure word; they were guided to the Way of the Praiseworthy" [Al-Hajj: 24]

💎 Praise is to describe Allah by the perfection of His Self, attributes, and actions while feeling love and glorification for Him. Allah Almighty is praiseworthy for His perfection, and in all circumstances, even if His servants did not praise Him.

💎 One of the greatest verbal acts of worship is to frequently extend due praise to Allah. Let your tongue say it, your heart feel it, and your rank be elevated because of it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “And ‘glory be to Allah’ [SubhanAllah] and ‘praise be to Allah’ [Alhamdulillah] fill what is between the heaven and earth.” [Muslim]

💎 One of the most sublime things for which Allah Almighty is praised is His excellent names and attributes. He is praised for His power and strength, forbearance, knowledge, majesty, magnificent authority, and His vast mercy and forgiveness. Then, He is praised for His blessings and bounty.

💎 We should try to know the situations where the Prophet (ﷺ) is authentically reported to have engaged in Dhikr comprising praise for Allah Almighty, so we can do the same. For example, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed, he would say, “All praise is due to Allah, Who provided us with both food and drink, protected and provided us with shelter. There are many who have no one to protect or shelter them.” [Muslim]

Allah's Name: المنان
Al-Manaan (The Bestower of Favors)

➡️ It is Allah, the Manaan, Who gives generously and bestows numerous favors and blessings upon His servants.

➡️ This name only occurs in the Qur’an in a verb form. For example, Allah Almighty says:

﴿لَقَد مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى المُؤمِنينَ إِذ بَعَثَ فيهِم رَسولًا مِن أَنفُسِهِم يَتلو عَلَيهِم آياتِهِ وَيُزَكّيهِم وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الكِتابَ وَالحِكمَةَ وَإِن كانوا مِن قَبلُ لَفي ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ﴾

"Certainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error" [Aal-‘Imrān: 164]

➡️ It occurs as a name in a Hadīth in which Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) while a man was praying and then made this supplication: O Allah, I implore You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to You, there is no god but You, You are the Bestower of favors, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Owner of majesty and honor, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer!” Thereupon, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He has implored Allah by His greatest name by which when asked, He gives, and by which when supplicated, He answers."

💎 Considering Allah’s name ‘the Bestower of favors’ and pondering His bounty and generosity towards His servants inspires love within our hearts for Him and makes it incumbent upon us to give thanks and praise to Him.

💎 Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) wrote these beautiful words describing Al-Manaan...“ The Bestower of favors is the One Who gives before being asked.” All praise is due to our Lord in this world and in the Hereafter.

💎 Reminding people of your favours to them is a bad deed, but when Allah reminds His Servants of His favors upon them, it is a praiseworthy attribute of Allah Almighty. Indeed all blessings people enjoy come from their Lord as a favor from Him. But how can a created being boast of favors that do not actually come from him? Moreover, when a person gives something, he gets a reward for it and is promised compensation. On the other hand, Allah Almighty gives His servants as grace from Him, while He does not need them. Rebuking the nomad Arabs for counting their conversion to Islam as a favor to the Prophet, Allah Almighty says that which means: "They count it as a favor to you that they accepted Islam. Say, Do not regard your [accepting] Islam as a favor to me; rather, Allah has bestowed a favor on you by guiding you to faith if you are truthful" [Al-Hujūrāt: 17]

💎 Know that Allah Almighty loves that His servants be aware of His blessings and recognize His favors. This is a distinguishing trait of the believers.

➡️ In the story of Prophet Yūsuf, he says: “Yes, I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah has surely been gracious to us. Indeed, whoever fears Allah and remains patient, Allah does not allow the reward of such people to go to waste.” [Yūsuf: 90]

➡️ And about the dwellers of Paradise, Allah Almighty says: "And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other. They will say, “Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah]. So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire. Indeed, we Used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, Most Merciful.” [Al-Tūr: 25-28]
