SIRRIN FATIHA

Muhyiddin Ibn al-`Arabi, (May God purify his heart!) said: "If anyone is in need of something, let him read surah “al-Fatiha" forty times after evening prayer and two raka`ats of optional (Ratiba) prayer". Note that, one should not get up without completing reading the surah "al-Fatiha" the required number of times. After reading the verses let him turn to the Almighty with his wishes - and there is no doubt that Allah will help! This is a proven method, and we found it to be useful. Then, after reading the surah "al-Fatiha" 40 times, the following prayer should be pronounced - Dua: إلهِي عِلْمُكَ كَافٍ عن السُّؤَالِ اِكْفِنِي بحَقِّ الْفَاتِحَةِ سُؤلاً وَكَرَمُكَ كَافٍ عَنِ الْمَقَاِل أَكْرِمْنِي بِحَقَ الْفَاتِحَةِ مَقَالاً وَحَصِّل مَا فِي ضمِيري Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "Surah al-Fatiha” is open for appealing to believers in Allah, with their wishes. Who reads “surah al-Fatiha” over clean water 70 times for 7 days, and then, after blowing on it, drinks it, God, by His mercy, bestows knowledge and wisdom, cleans his heart from pervasive thoughts, and grants him such an exceptional memory and ability to grasp everything on the fly, that he never forgets anything even if he heard it once." This is shown in book “Sirr al-Fatiha”. One of the properties of this surah is that if a person suffering from eye disease, reads it 41 times between sunnah and obligatory morning prayers, then - by permission of Allah – he will be recovered from illness very soon. Today reading surah al-Fatiha in this manner is of great benefit in treating eye and other diseases, as this is tested and verified method, praise to Allah! The secret of success lies in the positive opinion of a patient (about the method) and his confidence. He who reads this surah in the above order, wanting to get rid of toothache, then - by the grace of God –will be relieved of suffering. Also, if anyone reads it in that order, while bidding farewell to his friend departing on a trip, then Allah will take his friend under His protection, and he will return home unharmed. One of the righteous people, speaking about the special properties inherent in this surah, said: "He who reads Surah al-Fatiha seven times, putting his hand on the sore spot, and then recites seven times: اللهمَّ أَذْهِبْ عنِّي سُوءَ ما أَجدُ وَفُحْشَهُ بدَعْوَةِ نَبيِّكَ مُحمدٍ صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم اَلْمُبَاركِ المكين الأَمِينِ عِنْد َكً then God will heal him." This method of relieving from pain has been tested and confirmed, as stated in the b

Everything has a heart and the heart of the Qur’ān is Yā Sin.2 “Ya Seen” is the 11th name of Sayedena Muhammad (s). It means that if you want to move towards the Divine heart, you must come through the heart of the Messenger of the Divine (s). When you come through the heart of Prophet (s), your soul will be dressed with a secret. That secret is found in Surah Yā Sin: “The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!” (36:58) It means that the secret of whirling is to receive that peace. When you truly submit, and begin to follow Allah / God’s will instead of your will; when you begin to live a spiritual life and leave the distractions of the material world, God’s attribute of mercy will dress your soul with a feeling of peacefulness that cannot be conveyed with words. And what happens when you receive peace? The answer is found at the end of Yā Sin: “But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: Be! And it is. Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back” (Surah 36:82-83). God is praising the hand that will reach that reality. In that hand is dominion over all things, and if we reach to that reality, we will be dressed with those secrets. That is why Saints have Heavenly power. Because they opened their hearts to that reality, they were dressed from the Divine heart with the secrets of Surah Yā Sin, and were given the power of kun fayakuun. If they intend something, they need only say “be” and it is, because they have a direct line to Divine Presence. So Mawlana is teaching that all of the secrets of whirling can be found in Yā Sin. That surah is also describing the relationship of the sun and the moon, which is the relationship of the right hand to the heart: “It is not for the Sun to catch up to the Moon nor for the Night to outstrip the Day: each is swimming in its (assigned) orbit” (36:40). The Divine is describing that one doesn’t overtake the
