    Al Asmaaul Husna - The most beautiful names

The All-Forgiving, The Forgiving, The One who forgives a lot.

Allah says He is The Forgiving, The Loving." (al-Buruj 85:14) This verse mentions two Names of Allah which are included among the best names. i.e. Al-Gafoor and Al-Wadood.

Al-Gafoor is derived from the root Gafr which means the One Who connives at His wrongdoing worshipper and is lenient in seizing them. The real meaning of Gafr is to cover. As is Mighfar for covering the head.

Al-Wadood is derived from the root Wudd which means pure love and refinement. This word either means One Who has enormous love for those who are obedient to Him and He remains close to them through His help and cooperation, or, it means that His obligation is so great that His creature is bound to love Him, worship Him and recite hymns in His praise.

Ref: (2:173) (8:69) (16:110) (41:32) (60:7)

Whatever wage I might have asked of you is yours. My wage is from Allah only and He is a Witness over all things.
