E.g. dua for healing, salawat, morning dhikr
Explanation: This is a munajat (intimate prayer) attributed to the ascetic Ibrahim ibn Adham. It describes the servant confessing his sins and seeking refuge in Allah's pardon alone,…
“Whoever performs the Fajr prayer in congregation is under Allah’s protection until evening.”
Muslim, Masajid 261Name 15
الْغَفَّار
The One who covers sins and forgives again and again.
Reciting a name as many times as its abjad value is a common custom; it is neither fard nor wajib. In the Dua Kitaplığı app's dhikr counter, this name comes ready with its target count.
Ghaffar means the One who covers sins and forgives again and again. The root “ghafr” means to cover; forgiving here does not mean pretending the wrong never happened, but covering it and making it invisible. Its form expresses abundance: the One who forgives not once, but over and over.
In the Quran: Surah Nuh, verse 10, says: “Ask your Lord for forgiveness, for He is Most Forgiving.”
Both describe forgiveness. The form Ghaffar emphasizes repetition: the One who covers the same sin of the same servant many times. Ghafur, on the other hand, conveys the vastness of forgiveness and the greatness of its scope.
It is commonly recited with the intention of repentance being accepted and sins being forgiven. It is mentioned together with istighfar (seeking forgiveness); there is no fixed number requirement.
