| Ghafoor comes from the root ghayn-faa-raa, which points to three main meanings | He told me to say, "Allahumma inni zalumtu nafsi zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfiru dh-dhunuba illa anta, fa ghfir li maghfiratan minindika, wa r-hamni, innaka anta l-ghafuru r-rahim O Allah! The third meaning is to show favour, and the fourth meaning is to have all that is required for beneficence |
|---|---|
| I have done great injustice to myself and none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness from You, and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the Merciful | The first meaning is to cover, veil, conceal, and hide |
This itself is a big thing, recognizing when you are in the wrong, unfortunately many people do not acknowledge they have wronged let alone ask forgiveness.
| When we seek forgiveness from Allah, not only the doors of His Mercy are opened but many other said and unsaid duas are granted | The second meaning is to pardon, to forgive, and to set aright |
|---|---|
| Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver | But those who do not believe in the Hereafter — their hearts are disapproving, and they are arrogant |
Al-Ghafoor is the One Who forgives, regardless of how large the sin is, and He forgives repeatedly! [Quran, Surah Saad 38:35] This was the dua of Prophet Sulaiman who started his dua by seeking forgiveness from Allah first then asking for his request.
18| Yunus prayed to Allah this dua when he was in the belly of the whale as he recognised the mistake he had made | Allah loves the ones who are humble and show humility |
