== Linguistic translation of Al-Ghafūr == The root verb of Al-Ghaffoor and Al-Ghaffaar is gha-fa-ra (غَفَرَ) which points to three main meanings: The first meaning is to cover, veil, conceal, and hide. The second meaning is to pardon, to forgive, and to set aright. And the third meaning is to cover a thing to protect it (from dirt).
