Al-Ghafir
See Ghafir for the Quranic sura.
Al-Ghāfir is one of the titles of God in Islam, translated as "The Forgiver". It is derived from the root gh-f-r . The basic meaning of the root is "to cover, to shield, to protect", besides "to forgive".
Al-Ghafūr and Al-Ghaffār are two of the 99 Names of God in Islam derived from the same root. Their traditional translations are "The All-Forgiving" and "The Forgiving".
The root gh-f-r has given rise to three names in the Qur'an: Ghaffar, Ghaffur and Ghâfir. However, only Ghaffar and Ghaffur were included in the list of 99 names narrated by Tirmidhi.
