What Al-Mu'id means
Al-Mu'id means the Restorer, who brings creation back after it ends. He will bring all people back to life after death for the Day of Judgement (30:11). We see signs of this every year when dead land comes back to life after rain.

In the Qur'an
The name itself is not in the Qur'an as a name, but its meaning is, as in this verse.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ
ٱللَّهُ يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Said together with Al-Mubdi', as in the Qur'an: 'He begins and brings back' (85:13).
Living by this name
Prepare for the day you return to Allah. Pray: O Allah, make my return to You a good return.
