About this Supplication & Hadith Context
Meaning, spiritual background, and authentic virtues from the Sunnah
✦The Supreme Supplication for the Night of Decree
Aisha (RA) asked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): 'O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylatul Qadr, what should I say in it?' He replied: 'Say: Allahumma innaka 'Afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni' (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3513 and Sunan Ibn Majah 3850, classified Sahih).
✦The Difference Between 'Afw (Pardon) and Maghfirah (Forgiveness)
Islamic scholars highlight the profound linguistic beauty of 'Afuww: while Maghfirah means Allah covers your sin and spares you from its punishment, 'Afw means Allah completely erases the sin from your record as if it never occurred, removing even the angels' memory of it.
