العَفُوُّ

AL-AFUW

(The Supreme Pardoner)

The Pardoner, The Forgiver and The Eliminator of Sins.

Allah is Al-Afuw, The One who pardons sins and leaves no trace of any fault. He also pardons evil intentions if they do no materialize.

From the root 'a-f-a which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to forgive, pardon to pass over, forgo, absolve to obliterate all traces, efface, remove to kill-off, allow to die to turn away from punishing, not see, annul to make unapparent, imperceptible to give spontaneously, to give without constraint to give more than what is due

If [instead] you show [some] good or conceal it or pardon an offense – indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Competent.(Quran 4:149)
