A Quranic Study on the Concept of Social Security

Need is the inseparable component of social life. Therefore, human societies are always encountered by needs in such fields as food, clothes and house. Meanwhile, some of the needs such as security, having basic and fundamental dimensions, sometimes stay away from the minds. Significance and position of security is so important that its absence makes it impossible for human being to enjoy other divine blessings. This paper intends to analyze the source of social security in the Holy Quran. According to the verses 23 of Al-Hashr, 125 of Al-Baqara, 67 of Al-Ankabut, 27 of Al-Fath, 55 of Al-Qasas, 35 of Ibrahim, 112 of Al-Nahl and 55 of An-Nur, the source of security is known to be almighty God.
