What does Al-Ghaffār mean?
The One who continuously veils the sins of His servants and forgives them, protecting them from the consequences of their faults time and again.
How can I call upon Allah with Al-Ghaffār in dua?
Invoke 'Ya Al-Ghaffār' to seek sincere repentance, the veiling of one’s faults, and protection from the shame of past mistakes.
Reflection
Just as Allah veils our weaknesses, we are encouraged to be forgiving and to hide the faults of others rather than exposing them.
Source note
The grammatical form 'Fa'āl' denotes intensity and a repetitive, limitless quality of forgiveness.
