قل أنزله الذي يعلم السر في السماوات والأرض إنه كان غفورا رحيما
Say, "Has sent it down the One Who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Al-Ghafur (The Oft-Forgiving)—unified here with Al-Ghaffar, Ghafir adh-Dhanb, and Dhul-Maghfirah—signifies Allah’s boundless forgiveness that veils faults and pardons sins time after time. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 100 times across 100 verses in 43 surahs, from Quran 2:173 (Surah Al-Baqarah) to Quran 85:14 (Surah Al-Buruj).
Reflection: Turning to Al-Ghafur keeps the heart free from despair after mistakes and teaches us to forgive and overlook the shortcomings of people.
