Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver)

This is a Makki Surah.  There are seven Surahs (alternatively known as, al-Mu'min, HaMim al-Sajdah, al-Shura, al-Zukhruf, al-Dukhan, al-Jathiyah, al-Ahqaf) that begin with the word "HaMim".  Thus these seven Surahs are also called "al-Hawamim".  All these are Makki Surahs and they were revealed one after another after the previous Surah al-Zumar, in the middle Makkan period before the Hijrah to Abyssinia. This Surah has 85 verses in 9 sections.

These are Surahs of Da'wah, inviting people to believe in Allah, take advantage of the mercy of Allah.  There is solace and comfort in these Surahs for the Believers who were persecuted because of their faith and they are given the good news that the truth will prevail.
