As-Sittir Allah always covers His slaves’ faults and never exposes them. He also likes them to conceal their sins and avoid whatever is bound to dishonour them, being aware of His presence and showing Him the respect due to Him.

Occurrence: This name is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an but rather in the Prophet’s Sunnah.

Evidence: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah, Glorified and Sublime be He, is modest and concealing, and He loves modesty and concealment…” (Reported by At-Tirmidhee and Abu Daawood)
