The Place of Security in the Islamic Utopia from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Abstract

Since the beginning of creation in the universe, humans have faced a conundrum called security. Because environmental factors were the most important danger that threatened human life. However, security, like other values and social concepts, depends on existing conditions and realities, which is a dynamic and fluid concept that has been changing and evolving throughout human social life, from simple to complex, according to the social structure and function of human life. It has shown itself from individual security to social, national, regional, and international security. In the Quranic culture, security has a broad, balanced and profound concept and includes all aspects of individual and social life and political, economic, social and cultural spheres in both internal and external dimensions. It emphasizes a model of security that is linked to the authority, dignity, coherence, unity and communication of the Islamic society in the international arena and the internal and external strength of the society. It considers the condition of national security in the dimension of external security and the internal strength of the Islamic nation. It considers any concern, worry and insecurity in one dimension to be effective in other dimensions and considers any strength and power in one area to be the source of power and authority in other areas. The Holy Quran considers food and economic security and security against external threats and various internal and external conspiracies to be one of the great blessings of God. In line with the realization of these principles, it emphasizes the creation of public confidence and peace, worship and spirituality.
