From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Afuww means the Pardoner: the One who wipes away the sins of those who sincerely repent, as if they had never been committed.
Understanding the Name
‘Afw means to erase completely, as the wind erases footprints in sand. Forgiveness (maghfirah) covers a sin; pardon (‘afw) removes it altogether. When Sayyida Aisha asked what to say if she found Laylat al-Qadr, the Prophet ﷺ taught her: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni, “O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon me” (Tirmidhi).
Since Allah loves to pardon, the believer who pardons others draws Allah’s pardon upon himself.
Effects and reflections
A servant of Allah keeps falling into sins, knowingly or unknowingly. If this beautiful quality were not in Allah, he would be lost. It is one of the most wonderful gifts of Allah.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā ‘Afuww” 117 times after every prayer will, Insha’Allah, have all his sins pardoned.
