In parallel to this consideration, the study is consisted of two dimensions. At the first dimension, the concept of Afuvv and its historical background are discussed. While dealing with the historical background of the concept “al-Afuvv”, related verses of the Koran and the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad are used as basis of the discussion, focussing on the contextual meanings of the concept. It also focuses on some concepts that are related to one another and the relationship whit other names of God in order to better define the Afuvv concept in the first dimension.
