Abstract
Security is one of the social concepts that has been mentioned many times in the Holy Quran. This volume of references to a concept in the Holy Quran shows the great importance of this concept. For this reason, the current research is aimed at analyzing the verses of the Holy Quran and using the method of Quran to the Quran commentary, to calculate the meaning of the concept of security in this divine source. The finding of this article shows that a person needs to go through certain steps in order to reach the position of security. These steps are chained, and failure to fulfill any of them will result in not achieving the blessing of security. These stages include: servitude and non-polytheism, faith and righteous deeds, the position of divine caliph, the position of divine satisfaction, and finally attaining the position of security. Creating security in the society brings peace in that society and as a result, it brings that society to the position of closeness to God. Therefore, it is obligatory for the Islamic government to provide security and peace in the Islamic society and to provide the conditions for worshiping God.
