Fettāḥ means the One who opens the gates of the malakūt (the spiritual realm), hearts (qalb), and conquests (fatḥ). Approaching Him by this Name is achieved through hunger, retreat (khalwa), purification, and turning towards the qibla. Its particular characteristics are the expansion of provision (rizq), the facilitation of outward matters, and divinely bestowed knowledge. (Ravza, 324)
