Al-Mu’min (المؤمن): Meaning of Allah’s Name

The One Who Has praised Himself with Perfect Attributes and with perfection of magnificence and beauty. The One Who sent His Messengers and revealed His Books containing signs and clear proofs. Who testified to the truth of His Messengers by giving them every sign and proof that would prove the truth of what they came with.

"He is Allaah, other than whom none has the right to be worshipped. The King, the Holy, The One free from defects, the Giver of Security, the Ever-Watcher, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! (High is He) Above all that they associate as partners with Him." (59:23)

The Exalted, said: “The One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures.” (Al-Hashr: 23)

The Linguistic Meaning:

Al-Moumen: Has two meanings:

The First: The believer.

The Second: The giver of security.

And our Lord, the Praiseworthy, Is the Giver of security: the One Whom all people have trusted His Justice and His Fairness, to believers as well as disbelievers. He is the Believer Who believes honest people, by providing them with evidences of their honesty, and He gives security and safety to the scared, replacing their fear with peace. He provides His followers with peace and safety in this life, in Barzakh, and in the Hereafter. He gives security and victory to the oppressed over his oppressor by enabling him to conquer his oppressor.

The Grandeur of Al-Moumen

God, the Exalted, declares His Oneness and His Attributes, by testifying of His Monotheism, distinguishing Himself in being worshipped Alone, by deservedly praising Himself for possessing Perfect Names and Attributes, for He, the Exalted, said: “Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)”. (Al-Imran: 18). “And this is the noblest testimony coming from the Great King for the noblest cause which is to worship God, the Exalted, Alone” and this is the most sublime of all meanings of His Names (Al-Moumen).
