What is a muhmin?

Mumin is Arabic for "believer". There is also a chapter of Qur'an named Al Muminun (The Believers).

Here are the first few verses.


Successful indeed are the believers, Those who humble themselves in their prayers; Who avoid vain talk; Who are active in deeds of charity; And who guard their modesty - Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame, But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;- Those who faithfully observe their trusts and their covenants; And who (strictly) guard their prayers.

Adding to the above:

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala tells us in Surah Al-Hujurat 49: 14

The bedouins say: "We believe.'' Say: "You do not believe. But say, `We have submitted,' for Faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful.

This ayah shows that there is a difference between Mu�min and Muslim. Allah knows best.
