Now Farooq also comes from the letters fa ra qaaf, but the way the word is shaped is known as "mubaalagah" in arabic. Mubaalagah (inshaAllah a post about this will be made in the future) is a hyperbole; basically taking a word and giving it steriods--it's strengthened and has a stronger and more powerful meaning. So "Farooq" has the same meaning of seperating, but it means to seperate two things so greatly that it cannot in anyway shape or form be put back together. SubhanAllah, Umar radi Allahu anhu clearly seperated truth from falsehood that no one could confuse them, and this is how he received the name, Al-Farooq. Another one is Fath, from fa ta ha, as we all know surah Al-Fatihah means the Opening and the "Futahaat" are the Openings--meaning the cities like Jerusalem that were opened, or like Fath Makkah, opening of makkah. SubhanAllah, indeed the arabic language is like a deep ocean, and we are only tasting a drop of it. Allah ta'ala says in Surah Yusuf that He made the Qur'an, an arabic Qur'an so that we can have AQL. And 'aql literally means to tie a rope together, so by defintion having 'aql means to be able to connect issues/topics/thoughts together and ponder. InshaAllah let's ponder on this beautiful language and study it. Here’s another one: the name given to Umar radi Allahu anhu, al-Farooq.

From the letters fa wow haa. Our mouths seperate, or split..like this :-D -one we are all familiar with: fitr or iftaar, from fa ta raa, when we break the fast. Eid ul Fitr breaks the fasting of the month of Ramadan. -Muflihoon (ones who are successful), from fa laam haa, a falaah is a farmer. A farmer breaks open the earth and plants agriculture. Also just a very nice side point about how a farmer connects with being a "muflih" (successful person), subhanAllah a farmer tills his land, he looks after it everyday, he waters it, irrigates it---he really takes care of it. A successful person is the same, they work hard for their deeds and do as many as they can. So being a Muflih is NOT by chance, those who are truly successful are successful because they worked hard and in return Allah ta'ala blessed them with sucess. Next we read muflihoon in the Qur'an, let's remind ourselves of the work a farmer puts into his land inshaAllah. wa Allahu 'alam. Can anyone think of any more words beginning with "fa" that follow this pattern? Some more examples:
