The main concern of this research is “examining the role of the embodiment of moral virtues by members of society on various dimensions of security from the perspective of the Qur’an and narrations,” conducted using a library-based, documentary method with a descriptive-analytical approach. This article considers honesty in belief and justice in character as the origins of security, divides security into natural and unnatural (human-made) domains, and maintains that adorning oneself with moral virtues lays the groundwork for the harmony of human society with the world of creation (takwīn) and immunity from nature’s punishment. On the other hand, vices such as worldliness and materialism, arrogance and domination-seeking, lustfulness, and engaging in oppression are seen as undermining security and provoking insecurity in various dimensions. To prove its claim, the study not only cites verses of the Holy Qur’an and authentic narrations from the Infallibles (peace be upon them) but also draws on contemporary concrete and social examples.
