Al Mu'min المؤمن | Ghafir غافر

Qahramon
About this episode

"The All-Forgiving", referring to God, also known as Al-Muʼmin (Arabic: المؤمن, ’al-mu’min; meaning: The Believer) is the 40th chapter of the Qur'an, with 85 verses. It takes its name from verse 28 which mentions a distinguished believer from among the clan of the Pharaoh who supported Moses, referring to him as a "believing man," hence al-Mu'min; The Believer. However, this surah is most often called al-Ghafir (the All-Forgiving) because of the Divine Name mentioned in verse 3
