IMAAN
The basic meaning of امن is safety and security, tranquility in heart and mind, free from fear - It is related to mind and not concerned about world peace. Islam is against killing shedding blood, cruelty, aggression or any type of hegemony. The philosophy of Islam concern about peace of individual mind. Providing peace to others is an utopian concept. How can someone provide peace if he / she is not peaceful himself / herself. The word الْمُؤْمِنُ (Momin) is wrongly inferred as Giver of Security or Giver of Peace. Allah does not give anything to anyone, when we are eligible we get, Allah knows who is a deserving candidate. God Helps those who help themselves.
2:196 – فَإِذَا أَمِنْتُمْ = Then
when you feel safe / secure – perfect verb
33:72 – الْأَمَانَةَ – Al-amanah – The Trust – Noun
6:87 – أَمِينٌ – Ameen – Trustworthy - Adjective
2:3 - الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ - Those who persistently believe in the transformation of self / those who aspire to believe in self [يُؤْمِنُونَ] - form iv
9:124 – إِيمَانًا – Imaan - faith, trust, freedom from doubt, feel
secure, believe – Form iv verbal noun
61:11 – تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ - You need to persistently believe with Allah and His Rasul and strive in the cause of Allah with your full inclination and your nafs. That is best for you, if you should know.
Once you believe, signs are everywhere – The real belief is achieved when one knows, recognizes, understands the signs and not just believing anything blindly. Majority of people believe in so called intangible God of religion based on blind belief because it is often based on ideology (عقيدة) of their cult and is not based on knowing, understanding, recognizing the real entity, real energy, real power.
Any belief which is not based on our own self study or our own inference of facts is actually not a belief but in fact it is ignorance or blind belief.
Allah is Momin 59:23 so is Musa – Musa is also Momin - 7:144 – Momin is a Possessor or Holder of Imaan / aman / amanah and not a provider or giver of security / peace / tranquility to others. No one can provide Imaan / Aman, it is not a commodity which can be easily available to any Tom, Dick and Harry. Momin is a state of believing in self, after understanding the self, having thorough knowledge of self.
