Societal Security, could be regarded as one of the modern security theories which because of it's importance and high effects on understanding and managing security, it has become a predominant discussion. While leading Iranian writers do not have a native encounter with this foundamental concept and we are witnessing the proposition and propagation of the western narratives of this terminology in the country's scientific and functional society. From this aspect, different takes from “social dimension of security to the social security has been presented as the reference commentaries”
In this paper, researcher while questioning the whats and the governing principals an “societal security” in Islam, has made efforts to definition and limitation of the conceptual boundaries of this terminology in the scientific debates of the Iranian society. In addition with utilization of the subject - made interpretation, blessed sura (chapters of Holy Quran) of, ARAF, YUNIS and SAFAT, has been analysed and has been inferred and presented as pillars of “societal security” in Islamic debates.
On these basis social nobility of security in accordance with Islamic perspective has been judged and negated, but social foundation of the security is accepted.
