فكلوا مما غنمتم حلالا طيبا واتقوا الله إن الله غفور رحيم
So eat from what you got as war booty - lawful (and) good, and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah (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.

يا أيها النبي قل لمن في أيديكم من الأسرى إن يعلم الله في قلوبكم خيرا يؤتكم خيرا مما أخذ منكم ويغفر لكم والله غفور رحيم
O Prophet! Say to whoever (is) in your hands of the captives, "If knows Allah in your hearts any good, He will give you better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you. And Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
