نقش اطلاعات در تأمین امنیت مبتنی بر قرآن کریم

In today’s complex and high-risk world, information is considered one of the fundamental components of national power and a key factor in ensuring security. Information—comprising processed and meaningful data—plays a crucial role in high-level decision-making, threat identification, crisis management, and maintaining social stability. The teachings of the Quran also emphasize the importance of accuracy and correctness in acquiring and utilizing information, viewing it as a foundation for both material and spiritual security.
This study aims to examine the role of information in ensuring security inspired by the teachings of the Quran. The research seeks to answer the question: What is the role of information in ensuring security based on the Quranic verses? This qualitative study uses content analysis of selected Quranic verses that directly or indirectly refer to information or security. Key concepts were extracted and a conceptual model was developed by establishing relationships among these concepts. The statistical population of this study is the entire Quran, and purposive sampling was applied.
The study investigates the role of information in providing security from a Quranic perspective. The analysis of the Quranic texts indicates that information holds a fundamental and strategic position in forming, maintaining, and developing social security. Beyond serving as a tool for security institutions, it is considered a pillar of religious culture. From a Quranic viewpoint, information not only has a defensive role but also functions as a means to accurately analyze capacities and threats, strengthen social cohesion, and promote justice. This religious framework provides a basis for designing security policies that, while maintaining security considerations, enhance social trust and cultural legitimacy.
Consequently, in the Quran, information is regarded as a strategic asset for achieving comprehensive security and social sustainability. The study findings demonstrate a direct and interactive relationship between information and security. Increasing the volume and speed of information necessitates more precise, intelligent, and technologically advanced security measures, and the emerging functions of information can be leveraged to enhance national security capabilities. Strengthening national information capacities and developing intelligent data analysis systems are essential conditions for the survival, authority, and cohesion of political systems in the era of cognitive warfare and hybrid threats
