Scholarly Explanation

The one who has praised Himself with perfect Attributes and with the perfection of magnificence and beauty. The one who sent His Messengers and revealed His Books along with signs and clear proofs. The one who testified to the truth of His Messengers by giving them every sign and proof that would certify the truth of what they came with.

He is Allah, other than whom none has the right to be worshipped. The King, the Holy, as-Salam, the Giver of Security, the Ever-Watcher, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! [High is He] above all that they associate as partners with Him.

[al-Hashr (59): 23]

From “Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah” — Shaykh as-Sa’di (d.1376H)

Prophetic Traditions

وَاللَّهِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ قِيلَ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِي لاَ يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ

By Allah he does not believe! By Allah he does not believe! By Allah he does not believe! It was said: Who, O Messenger of Allah? He said: The one whose neighbor is not safe from his evil.

Al-Mumin grants security—a believer should also be a source of security for those around them.

Abu Shuraih رضي الله عنه·Sahih al-Bukhari 6016

اللَّهُمَّ أَنتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنتَ

Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu abuu'u laka bi-ni'matika 'alayya wa abuu'u bi-dhanbi fa-ghfir li fa-innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant

O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no deity but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I am upon Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me, and I acknowledge my sin — so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.

Sahih al-Bukhari 6306 — Sayyid al-Istighfar; best dua for seeking forgiveness and securityAl-Mu'min grants security — this master supplication is the ultimate act of trust in Him.
