Explanation
Al-Afuw describes Allah’s erasing and overlooking of guilt beyond mere forgiveness. In a Sunni Hanafi-compatible framing, this is understood in a manner befitting Allah, without likeness to creation.
Dua usage
In supplication, this name especially fits when asking for complete pardon, release from shame, and strength to forgive appropriately.
Reflection
The practical lesson is this: pardon teaches that not every possible punishment must be carried out.
Source note
