Al-Muʿmin " ٱلْمُؤْمِنُ " - the Bestower of Security, the Source of Faith, the Remover of Fear is on of the 99 attributes of Allah. This attribute is mentioned in 23rd verse of Surah 59. Hashr along with many other attributes of Allah:
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىۡ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ اَلۡمَلِكُ الۡقُدُّوۡسُ السَّلٰمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنُ الۡمُهَيۡمِنُ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡجَـبَّارُ الۡمُتَكَبِّرُؕ سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَ
He is Allah: there is no god but He: the King, the Holy, the All-Peace, the Giver of security, the Overseer, the Most Mighty, the Overpowering, the All-Great. Exalted be He from whatever they associate with Him.
The word Al-Mu'min is derived from amun, which means to secure from fear, and Mu'min is one who provides security to others. Allah has been called Al-Mu'min in the sense that He provides security to His creatures. His creatures are secure from the fear that He would ever wrong them, or deprive them of their rights, or allow their rewards to go to waste, or would violate the promises He has made with them. Then, since no object has been mentioned with this subject, but the epithet of Al-Mu'min has been used absolutely, it automatically gives the meaning that His security comprehends the entire universe and all that it contains. [6]
Mu'min or Mo'min is an Arabic Islamic term, frequently referenced in the Quran, meaning "believer". It denotes a person who has complete submission to the Will of Allah and has faith firmly established in his heart, i.e. a "faithful Muslim". Also, it is used as a name and one of the names of God in Islam. So when Allah says He is Al Mu'min, it means it is He alone who instills faith in the believers and guides them to the righteous path.
Please listen to the meaning of Al Mu'min attribute of Allah, very eloquently explained by Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman:
