Psychological Mechanisms of Establishing Social Security With a Focus on the Prophet’s Life Story

The purpose of the present research work is to study the psychological mechanisms of establishing social security using the Prophet's life story. To do so, the qualitative, documentary, library, and conceptual research method was utilized. First, an attempt was made to answer the question, ‘How is social security established through psychological mechanisms?’ Then, the individual, social, disciplinary, solidarity, confidence-building, participatory, and valuation dimensions of this important issue were surveyed in detail. Next, making use of the Quranic verses, hadiths and narrations, each of the dimensions mentioned, social security indicators and mechanisms, and the psychological factors influencing it were documented. Ultimately, it was revealed that, in the Prophet's life story, individual security was accomplished through affection and respect, broad-mindedness, living a simple life, and endurance. The Prophet (p.b.u.h.), with all his diligence and strong resolution to carry out the mission, showed affection and respect, was cheerful, and lived a simple life in order to win the trust of the people. As regards the social dimension of security, social justice, satisfaction, fulfillment of promise, trust, participation of people, the protection of people's rights, and the presence of the Prophet among the people were among the psychological mechanisms of establishing social security in the Prophet’s life, which institutionalized trust, participation, and social security in the heart and soul of the people.
