FATIR
Out of all اسماء الحسناء this اسم is one of those Names of Allah which serves as an opener of other Names, other levels, other natures, other skies and other earths.
As Allah is Al-Fatir, He opens all and He is open toward all, He accepts all, He opens all nature and He accepts all nature.
As an opening, Fatir fashion out the fitra, the nature of all that is in existence.
However there are prerequisite for fitra to become manifest in a substance:
- It has to exist in time for some period so that the other thing in existence remain in contact for some time out of the opening which Fatir has opened. e.g. if A has to acquire the properties of B and there is a partition in between, Fatir breaks open the partition and let B in contact with A for properties to be imbibed for a certain period of time.
- It has to be a clean slate, a forgotten state with inert tendencies. So A will have to be inert to acquire the capabilities of B.
- Obviously B has to be fully capable of transferring its properties over A, to write over it, to make it capable.
- The opening serves a useful purpose and is for betterment and for common good although sometime it may not be so obvious.
- Ce the fitra, nature arrives at A, it becomes its nature, it is natural for it, it is a part of it, it cannot do away with it, no matter how muc you suppress it, you apply layers over it, you cover it, or you forget it, it is the basic core of it. If you change it, it will not be itself.
- To change fitra is a very very difficult process. Because this Name of Allah has not been given to humanity. So humans have a nature which is difficult to change unless you make it non-human. Similarly every particle, earth, metal, water, fire, sky has a nature and you know how difficult it will be to convert fire into ice.
Allah is Al-Fatir. He can change e basic fitra of substance on order, so He changes fire into ice for Ibrahim A.S. : يا نار كونى برد وسلام على ابراهيم
Allah has fashioned your fitra of soul, so no matter how much you deny Allah, Allah is within you. You deny Him, you change the name of Him, you make statue, idols of Him, you forget Him, but Allah as ONE is within you. No matter what you do you cannot do away with this ONENESS in you. You keep trying to be whole one, you try to be one nation, one society, one humanity and so on but you cannot do away with ONE, one Allah.
Allah has fashioned you as such from your wombs no matter how much you differentiate in physical world, by your color, language, race, nation or religion.
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿الروم: ٣٠﴾
