- Meaning
- "Al-Mumin" means the One who grants His servants security and trust, who fulfills what He promises, and who protects His servants against those who deny Him. This name also expresses that Allah is truthful and that His promise will certainly be fulfilled. (It comes from the same root as the word "mumin" (believer) used for people, but when applied to Allah it carries the meaning "who grants trust and security".)
In the Quran
«He is Allah, the Source of Peace (As-Salam), the Grantor of Security (Al-Mumin), the Watcher over all things (Al-Muhaymin).»
