Security is one of the words which have several definitions due to the objective and theoretical realities of modern world. It is necessary to discussthe question of security from a religious perspective, first due to the extensive discussions on its theoretical and conceptual aspects in scientific circles in recent decades, and secondly, due to the establishment of a religious government in Iran, and the attention it gives to the theoretical, religious, and practical aspects of security. Using a method based on both traditional evidence and rational evidence and considering some objective realities of security, the present paper tries to elucidate some of the religiousconcepts of security. Therefore, it discusses the view adopted by Islam on such things like faith, man, the world, and the hereafter, and expounds the mechanisms for life in the framework of the law of guardianship and the constructive understanding and certain modus operands concerning security.
