Pronunciation: Moo-min (the “u” sounds like the “oo” in “moon” and the apostrophe indicates a slight glottal stop or pause).
Meaning: A believer or faithful person, often used in a religious context to refer to a Muslim who has faith in Allah. It is derived from Arabic, commonly used in Somali due to Islamic influence.
Example: Ninkaasi waa mu’min run ah.
(That man is a true believer.)
