Al-Fattah
The Opener
Prophetic Traditions
مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ وَلاَ قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ
“No Muslim makes a supplication without sin or cutting ties—except Allah gives him one of three: either his request is answered quickly, or it is stored for him in the Hereafter, or an equivalent evil is averted from him.”
Al-Fattah opens doors of response to dua in ways we may not expect.
