The existence of various and numerous concepts of national security is an indication of the ambiguity of this political term. Deliberation on these concepts reveals the formation of two negative and positive discourses. In the negative discourse, security is defined as the lack of threat; and in the positive, it is defined as the availability of favorable conditions for realization of goals. Security in developed countries has not mingled with other types of security. In the third world, however, we see an intermingling of different types of security. This intermingling of different types of security is more resulted from the crisis of legitimacy, lack of national will, ethnic variety and economic chaos. Therefore, in discussion of national security in the Qur’an, internal security is to be discussed, too. In the Qur’an, social life is introduced as a basic need and the government undertakes to provide security. In providing security, first the threats must be identified so as to be able to take the due measures in removing those threats.
Losses are either individual or group. In order to fight against the losses that the individual creates, the Qur’an presents two techniques: prevention and treatment. In removing the group threats, the government is demanded to accept the role of people and being affectionate to them, and the people are demanded to give up ethnocentrism, racism, whims and desires, and acquisitiveness.
After discussing the internal security and the defined national security, this writing goes on to divide different threats into physical, social, religious, and intellectual. In the end, the religious, military, and economic securities are regarded as dimensions of national security and discussed and reviewed.
