Ghafir[1] (Arabic:غافر,ghāfir;meaning: "The All-Forgiving", referring toGod), also known asAl-Muʼmin (Arabic:المؤمن,’al-mu’min;meaning: The Believer),[2] is the40th chapter (sūrah) of theQur'an, with 85 verses (āyāt). It takes its name from verse 28,[3] which mentions a distinguished believer from among the clan of thePharaoh who supportedMoses, referring to him as a "believing man", henceal-Mu'min; The Believer. However, this surah is most often calledal-Ghafir (the All-Forgiving) because of theDivine Name mentioned in verse 3.[4]
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is traditionally believed to be a Meccan surah, from the second Meccan period (615–619).
Translation: So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.[6]
Infallibility is an indispensable attribute ofIslamic Prophet-hood according to Muslims. So according to Muslims, all the Islamic prophets are infallible in the sense that they do not sin or disobey God's orders. Here, God reminds the believers of an important fact to which Muslims must be attentive on the way to God.[4]
