Explaining the Meaning of the Mustaa'min
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the mustaa'min?
The Shaykh:
This is the muhaadid, this is the jinn, and this is the muhaadid, and the third is what?
The questioner:
The musta'mal.
The Shaykh:
The mustaa'min is the one who enters the lands of the Muslims under a guarantee of safety, either for trade or to perform a task or mission, such as ambassadors who bring messages from their kings and leaders to the one in authority over the Muslims. This is a mustaa'min until he leaves, or he comes for a job that only he can do well; he is brought in to establish a factory or set up something that only they can do well, and we are the ones who brought them and needed them. This is a mustaa'min until he completes his mission and then returns to his country.
They used to come to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and enter upon him, even in the mosque, carrying important matters and messages, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not harm them until they returned to their lands. So the religion of Islam is a religion of fulfilling promises. It is a religion of readiness and a religion of wildness, as they say, a religion of fulfilling promises. Yes.
