EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF INTELLECTUAL SECURITY IN ISLAM

Abstract

Prof. Dr. Raja bint Said Ali bin Saleh Al-Mehdar*

The research aimed to clarify the concept of intellectual security in Islam, its importance in human life and its foundations, and then deduce these implications, and highlight the role of community institutions in strengthening it. The researcher relied on the descriptive and inductive approach; where educational implications were extracted through texts of Islamic legislation sources. The most important results were the following:

1. Security, and intellectual security in particular, are among the basic demands that Islam came to achieve in human societies.

2. The mission of intellectual security is to provide safety and protection against intellectual trends that contradict the Islamic faith.

3. A society in which its members feel that the sanctity of religion, life, mind, money and honour are preserved and protected is a safe society in the view of Islam.

4. Among the most important educational implications derived are the following: faith, praise and victory, mercy, righteousness and kinship, supplication and remembrance, sincerity to God Almighty, mind and thought, peaceful coexistence, gratitude, admonition and exhortation, moderation, and economic significance.

5. The importance of community institutions in enhancing intellectual security, as each institution is assigned a role that it must perform.

6. Intellectual security in society stems from the community's belief in its values and adherence to them.
