In most interpretive and historical sources of Muslims, the term "Balad al-Amīn" is considered one of the names and characteristics of the city of Mecca.<ref>Akḥbār Makka, al-Fākihī, vol. 2, p. 281; Majmaʿ al-Bayān, vol. 1, p. 387; al-ʿIqd al-Thamīn, vol. 1, p. 35.</ref> "Balad al-Amīn" is a combination of two words: "Balad" and "Amin." "Balad" refers to a city or land.<ref>Al-Taḥqīq, vol. 1, p. 328, under "Balad."</ref> "Amin" is derived from the root "Amn," which means safety and tranquility,<ref>Al-ʿAyn, vol. 8, p. 388; Mufradāt, vol. 1, p. 90; Al-Taḥqīq, vol. 1, p. 150, under "Amn."</ref> or "Āmin," meaning a place of security.<ref>Al-Tibyān, vol. 10, p. 376; Taḥṣīl al-Marām, p. 562; Al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr, vol. 1, p. 695.</ref> Thus, "Balad al-Amin" means a city of security, tranquility, and freedom from fear and terror.<ref>Al-Taḥqīq, vol. 1, pp. 150–151.</ref>
