The inspirer of faith
Scroll on for a reflection, and where you’ll meet it
Reflection
One root gives three words at once: amn, safety; amāna, a trust placed in someone’s hands; and īmān, belief. Arabic hears believing as a kind of entrusting, and al-Muʾmin is read as the one who gives security — the same letters as the amān a frightened person asks for.
These letters are everywhere in the Qur’an, but almost always of people: the believers. With the article, naming Allah, the app’s check finds the form once — 59:23, between as-Salām and al-Muhaymin. A name can be rare in the text and constant in the mouth, and this one is both.
