Analysis of the main components of the semantic system of "security" in the Holy Quran

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Considering the common components emphasized in different definitions of "security" leads us to the point that these definitions have mainly emphasized either the negative or the positive aspects; but they have not considered both the negative and positive aspects simultaneously. The central question of this research is what components security consists of from the perspective of the Holy Quran and which negative or positive aspect is emphasized in the context of its formation. The results of this research, which were organized with a descriptive-analytical method and using the analysis of substitute concepts, show that security in the perspective of the Quran consists of two main components: "secure" and "confidence", one of which is based on the negative aspect and the other on the positive aspect. In the culture of the Holy Quran, a more complete level of security is achieved from the synergy of the two negative and positive aspects, which is referred to as "Salam". "Salam" is higher and more exalted than "security" because salam is used to describe a situation that is not only free from anything that causes human disgust; but also everything in it is in keeping with human nature.
