Etymology 1.5

Adjective

أَمِن • (ʔamin)

1. safe, protected
   • 2017 December 28, “التايمز تكشف عن مخبأ الآلاف من إرهابيي داعش الأجانب”, in The Baghdad Post‎^[1]:

     التقرير أكد، بان لقاءات مع قادة محليين سوريين، أكراد وعراقيين، أوضحت، بان هؤلاء الأجانب، لجئوا الى الصحراء في محاولة للهرب من القتل او الاعتقال الذي قد يطالهم على المناطق الحدودية، حيث وجدوا في عمق الصحاري ملاجئ امنة مؤقتة لهم، فيما يحاولون يائسين الوصول الى الحدود التركية، ومنها العودة إلى بلدانهم.

     The report affirmed that meetings with local Syrian leaders, Kurds, and Iraqis showed that these foreigners took shelter in the desert in the attempt to escape their being killed or arrested that reached out to them in the border zones where they encountered in the desert depths temporary safe shelters for them while they desperately sought the link to the Turkish borders, and with it the return to their homelands.
