In the library's own words

How the scholars invoke At-Tawwāb.

  1. "His names "Al-Barr" (The Beneficent), "Al-Muhsin" (The Doer of Good), "Al-Mu'ti" (The Giver), "Al-Mannan" (The Bestower) and others necessitate their effects and requirements. If this is understood, then among His names, exalted be He, are "Al-Ghaffar" (The Forgiving), "At-Tawwab" (The Acceptor of Repentance), "Al-Afuww" (The Pardoner), which must have related matters. There must be a sin to forgive, a repentance to accept, and crimes to pardon."

    — Ibn al-Qayyim, Volume One
