The Conceptology of the Quran-Based System of the Social Security with Emphasizing on the Concept of the Pure -Good- Life (al-Hayat at-Tayyibah)

The current concept of the social security is mostly limited to the subsistence protection for people in need by governments. Although the concept of social security is originated from the idiomatical and contemporary definition and adopted from the secular look of the West to the people’s needs for this world but it seems that it will not prevent to represent a new concept for it at all. In the present note and with analytic-descriptive method it has been specially debated about how it can be presented a meaning of the social security based on the favourite life and the Quran teachings. The noble Quran has defined a quality of life titled as pure -good- life (Arabic: الحیاه الطیبه) which has features such as the endless life which is the result of the degrees of the faith and the extensive instances of the good deeds, the dignity, safe and peaceful life and consequently a cheerful life. In this form of life, providing the physical life and livelihood is not neglected that it is of the most important factors and components of its formation. From the other side, according to the different approaches to human dignity, the ultimate goal of the social security system even in its current concept has been defined to provide the dignity of society individuals and this is of the basic goals of the holy Quran guidance. The Quran-based system of the social security will have a close connection with the concept of the good-pure- life as the favourite life. Accordingly, this system is in line with pure -good- life and conforming to provide dignity, security and peacefulness of the earthly and eternal life of the social beings and Islamic government meaning governing and as the most powerful social institute has the most responsibility to fulfil it as far as it can be claimed that the Islamic government is the government of the Quran-based system of the social security.
