بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
Allah has many Names through which we may know Him. He is not showing all His Names to everyone. Some He shows to a particular person. Some He keeps to Himself. This is not unique in the Shari'ah that Allah hides something of virtue so we might exhaust our effort in finding it. For example, Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power in Ramadhan) is hidden from us so we might exhaust ourselves of finding it. The blessed hour on Friday when du'as (supplications) are answered are hidden so we might exhaust ourselves in finding it.
Al-Fattah is one of Allah's 99 Names. Al-Fattah is the One who opens all of the gates that no one but Him can open. He is the One who:
1--opens all the gates of mercy, profit and sustenance to His slaves. The gate of the solution of every difficulty can be easily opened by Allah. If Allah so wills, He opens the door of His mercy; and if He so wills, He withholds it as no one else can grant it after Him. Therefore, the whole matter is with Allah and under His Divine control.
2--opens the heart to guidance. He opens the gates of His mercy to true believers and casts His Divine light into their hearts and knowledge into their minds.
3--opens the gates of understanding and knowledge. He opens to you the gates of wisdom and makes it run on your tongue. If you are truthful and sincere to Allah, He makes wisdom run on your tongue. The first kind of opening is that Allah opens to you religious knowledge. Then, He opens to you gates of worldly affairs: you are poor, He enriches you; you are weak, He empowers you; you are oppressed or defeated, He grants you victory over your enemies; you are depressed, He removes depression from you and replaces it with happiness and delight. Therefore, if person turns away from Allah, he can never attain happiness. To this effect, Allah Exalted is He says,
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ ﴿١٢٤﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا ﴿١٢٥
And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind." (124) He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?" (125)
[Quran, Ta-Ha 20:124-125]
4--opens the gates of solution to every difficulty and settlement between people.
5--grants a new reflection, new understanding
7--opens the gates to be intimate with Him; to turn to Him with love and devotion; He opens to you the gate to His good pleasure and contentment, whereby you are contented to live even in a small room saying Alhamdulillah (All Praise belongs to Allah.). Allah may open to a poor person the gate to contentment, thankfulness, and peace of mind. A person who does not know Allah is always unhappy and discontented even if he were the richest person in the world.
Everyone of us has our needs all the time. Al Fattah is so powerful and we need Him all the time. Reflect on this Name and call upon Al-Fattah more.
O Allah O Fattah, make the best of our life its end and the best of our days the day on which we encounter You while You are well pleased with us. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
Wassalaam

to you the gate to good health. If you are depressed, He opens to you
the gate to happiness.
