Ramadan is a month of HOPE.
It's not only a turbo booster for faith,
propelling us to new heights of devotion.
Ramadan is a reminder that
Allah is Al-Ghafoor (the Ever-Forgiving) and Al-Ghaffar (the All-Forgiving),
When Allah forgives, He not only pardons but also veils our sins from the sight of others.
Allah is also Al-Afuww (the Most Forgiving, the Eliminator of Sins) and At-Tawāb (the Acceptor of Repentance),
When Allah forgives and...See more

A flaw that I have is that often times I overlook signs right infront of me , sometimes I come across so many great reminders that I just gloss over because the begining didn't 'hook' me in. And I truly believe this is a flaw in me.

غافر
is the one who forgives no matter how big the sin.
غفّار
is the one that forgives no matter how many sins.
Each of these describe Allah and are mentioned once in the Quran.
Perhaps it takes one true repentance to be forgiven of the biggest sins no matter how many times they have been committed.

The expression: غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ (ghafiridh-dhanb) in verse 3: all literally means the one who puts a cover on sins (in the sense that they are no more seen or known by anyone), and: قَابِلِ التَّوْبِ (gabilit-tawb) means: He who accepts taubah or repentance. These two expressions appear separately, though the sense of both appears to be almost the same. The reason is that by saying: غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ (ghafiridh-dhanb), the p...See more

Imagine your daughter is slandered of the worst of crimes imaginable and rumours spread all across the community. You then find out one of the major protagonists is your close relative who you have been financially providing for, for many years. Can you even begin to imagine the pain and enraged anger you would feel?

وهذه كقوله: ﴿نَبِّئۡ عِبَادِيٓ أَنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ * وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ٱلۡأَلِيمُ﴾ [الحجر: 49-50]، يقرن هذين الوصفين كثيرًا في مواضع متعددة ليبقى العبد بين الرجاء والخوف. ابن كثير:4/71.
