Amir al-Mu'minin (Arabic: أَمِيرُ المُؤمِنِين, romanized: ʾAmīr al-Muʾminīn), or Leader of the Believers (also translated as Leader of the Faithful), is a politico-religious title in Islamic history denoting supreme leadership over the Muslim community (ummah). The term combines amīr (lit. 'commander, leader') with al-muʾminīn (lit. 'the believers'), thereby signifying authority that is simultaneously military, administrative, judicial, and moral in nature.
