غافر الذنب وقابل التوب شديد العقاب ذي الطول لا إله إلا هو إليه المصير
(The) Forgiver (of) the sin, and (the) Acceptor (of) Repentance, Severe in Punishment, Owner (of) Abundance. (There is) no God except Him; to Him, (is) the final return.
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.

تدعونني لأكفر بالله وأشرك به ما ليس لي به علم وأنا أدعوكم إلى العزيز الغفار
You call me that I disbelieve in Allah and (to) associate with Him what not for me of it any knowledge, and I call you to the All-Mighty, the Perpetual Forgiver.
