Ghafir (, ; "The All-Forgiving", referring to God), also known as Al-Muʼmin (, ; The Believer), is the 40th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 85 verses (āyāt). It takes its name from verse 28, which mentions a distinguished believer from among the clan of the Pharaoh who supported Moses, referring to him as a "believing man", hence ''al-Mu'min;'' The Believer. However, this surah is most often called ''al-Ghafir'' (the All-Forgiving) because of the Divine Name mentioned in verse 3.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (''asbāb al-nuzūl''), it is a "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina. Provided by Wikipedia
