Introduction
Today we will continue with .
We are talking about Al Fattah as He will open the doors
according to His knowledge. Surah Fatiha is an impact for the
name Al Fattah.
We say that only YOU we worship. Ibadah is from heart. Before
our body prostrates our heart should feel the worship. Sometimes
you do too much Ibadah but your heart is somewhere else so this
is not Ibadah Allah will not accept this. People might see you
worshipping but in real it’s about the heart. Nothing in the world
is greater than worship of Allah. The essential elements are love,
fear and hope. This is a contract between you and Allah. Worship
is Allah’s right and your right is we ask Him alone. We rely only
K n o w i n g A l l a h A l F a t t a h 3
to Allah and we can’t do it without Allah. We will not rely on
anyone except Allah.
The power of istiaana (asking): This is an action of the heart. The heart can talk, see, move and do
everything. Our limbs move according to our heart and its
movements. Whenever we feel something in our heart then we
take action accordingly. Allah wants us to seek His help alone. In
our heart we should always feel that we need to ask Allah. Only
Allah will appreciate your heart movements. We say that we will
not seek help from anyone except Allah. Prophet Muahammad
(Sallaho alihi wassalam) said that Allah prefers a momin who is
strong than weak. The strong Momin is the one who is strong in
faith with your heart and its actions. The power is seeking the
help of Allah alone. Every worship has power and it’s from heart.
Reasons to seek help from Allah alone:
Weak.
Allah wants to help us according to our nature. He wants our life
to be easy. He wants everything our life, our Hereafter, our grave

questions etc. Allah knows that we are all created weak. We are
all weak in our nature so we all need to ask Allah. Did the old
people have alarms to wake up? No but they still woke up. We put
hundred alarms but still we don’t wake up. This is because we rely
we rely on things other than Allah. The power of Dua is to make
this easy. So we need to ask Allah. Just our heart should move to
Allah alone. We don’t rely on us or anyone else or the means. If we
rely on anyone else then Allah will leave us on our own. We want
quickly the results so we become hasty.
Hasty
Human beings are hasty and they might call for evil because of
their hastiness. Sometimes a mother continuously ask for her
children but then she gets tired and finally makes dua against
them. This is our nature and to overcome it we need to ask Allah.
we need to against our nature and overcome our nature.
Hardship
Allah created the man in hardhip. We have to face hardships in
life. The more we try to create ease we face more hardships. We
have more technology and we have so many hardships like we rely
on technology and we need to fix it. We should never make
anything a substitute of Allah. We should never rely on anyone.
As we face more difficulties so we need to ask Allah more.

Arguing
We argue because we need to prove our point. Sometimes we don’t
accept to the truth because we don’t want to accept it from
someone and it leads to proudness. We want people to believe that
our point is right. Human being are very arguing. Sometimes we
don’t want to show truth rather we need to show ourselves.
Sometimes people ask for suggestions and someone gives a good
suggestion but the leader does not accept it just out of proudness.
Allah says that I gave all examples in Quran for you to ponder and
see. Don’t justify yourself if you are wrong. If you don’t wake up
for Fajar then don’t say I was tired just say that I didn’t wake up.
We need to ask Allah for this.
The definition of Istiana is to rely on Allah which is the action of
heart. We need to believe in our heart strongly. We need to rely on
Allah to bring all good and bring all evil and with trust and
believe that it will happen for sure. Can you trust someone more
than Allah. We ask Allah that we are trusting you alone. This will
make your life easy and you will feel light. Allah will deal with us
K n o w i n g A l l a h A l F a t t a h 6
how our heart thinks about Him. Human beings will not accept if
you don’t trust them completely for work given to them. Allah has
created us for this reason.
We will not be a human being until we worship Allah. to give
yourself value we need to worship Allah alone. Istiaana is
summed up in the statement this is
to show that nothing has power except Allah. This is a treasure of
Paradise. This is a very precious statement. Prophet Muhammad
(Sallalho alihiwassalam) said that Ibrahim told me to tell your
people that is from the treasures of
Paradise. This is a treasure of Dunya and Akahira. This is a very
precious statement. Children always get attracted to magic and
something amazing. This is a real treasure. This is the real
precious thing the others are all fake things and to distract the
mind. We rely on no one but Allah. This power will cure you from
Ajz and Kasal. These are two sicknesses which means disability
(ajz) that is we feel that we can’t do it and kasal is laziness of
doing. These are the two feelings we get when doing Ibadah. A
disability makes us rely on something else. May Allah make us
live with health. So don’t want any disability from doing worship
of Allah. this will be cured from
which is from Iyaa ka nastaeen. Nabi (Sallelaho alihi wassalam)
said that don’t make anything impossible. This will give us soo
much power. Don’t act like a disable person as if you can’t do
anything. This will help you from proudness and arrogance to
make you humble. The worst thing is to get proud of our own
K n o w i n g A l l a h A l F a t t a h 7
Ibadah. This is very harmful. Even if we worship Allah all our life
that’s not enough so how can we be proud.
When we say that we worship and we ask Allah we become united
and humble. We should never look down on anyone. Sometimes
people seem not to do much but they do a lot. If you remove pride
from your heart you will be able to worship in the best way. This
is to bring your ego down. We cannot judge people on their
appearance. It will remove any traces of arrogance or pride and
make you strong. It will remove your Riya and make you humble
slave of Allah and hence Allah will accept your duaa. This is the
rights of Allah and our right. There is no worship except by asking
Allah. this will make your Duaa that you will next make that
guide us to the straight path. We will do it next week Inshaa
Allah.
