Ghâfir (Surah 40)

Ghâfir (The Forgiver)

Makki Surah

Introduction

In essence, this Meccan sûrah emphasizes the main concepts highlighted both in the previous and following sûrahs—namely Allah being infinite in mercy and severe in punishment, and humanity being either grateful or ungrateful to their Lord along with the reward that ensues. All this is embodied in the story of Moses (verses 23-54)—with Pharaoh as the ungrateful disbeliever and an unidentified man from Pharaoh’s people as the grateful believer. The Prophet (ﷺ) is repeatedly advised to be patient, keeping in mind that Allah never lets His prophets down (verses 51 and 77). In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

The Quran Is from the Almighty

1. Ḥâ-Mĩm

2. The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Knowing,

3. the Forgiver of sin and Accept-er of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty.

There is no god (worthy of worship) except Him.

To Him (alone) is the final return.
