Al-Afuww

العفو

Name of Allah

The Pardoner — the one who effaces sin entirely.

Overview

Al-Afuww — The Pardoner: the one who effaces sin entirely.

The form العفو occurs in 2 ayahs (for example 2:219, 7:199). Those passages are listed below, found by matching the Arabic word form rather than the translation.

The enumeration of ninety-nine names comes from a hadith, not from the Quran, and the lists differ between narrations. IslamicGraph records the traditional set and shows, for each name, the ayat where that exact Arabic form occurs — so what rests on the Quran and what rests on the enumeration stay visible as different things.
