ما الفرق اللغوي بين التوبة والمغفرة، والفرق في ورودهما بالمناسبات في القرآن الكريم؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Repentance, linguistically: Returning from sin and regretting it. Al-Tawwab (The Accepter of Repentance) is one of Allah's Beautiful Names, meaning He who greatly accepts repentance. Forgiveness, linguistically: Covering and concealing. Al-Ghafur (The Forgiving) and Al-Ghaffar (The All-Forgiving) are two of Allah's Beautiful Names, meaning He who conceals the sins of His servants and overlooks their mistakes. The technical meaning does not differ from the linguistic meaning. Both names (Al-Tawwab and Al-Ghafur) appear in the Holy Quran in a context appropriate to their meanings of repentance and forgiveness.
