Key Wellness and Security Strategies
Intrinsic Security as a Foundation for Civilization
- Security is a prerequisite for human creativity, innovation, and development.
- Fear paralyzes human abilities and inhibits progress.
- True security must be internal (spiritual and psychological) as well as external (physical and social).
Spiritual and Psychological Security
- Faith and belief provide inner security by answering existential questions about life and purpose.
- A person with strong faith experiences less fear and grief, leading to peace of mind.
- Islam teaches that the ultimate reward for the righteous is freedom from fear and grief in both this life and the Hereafter.
Physical and Social Security
- Security is guaranteed in sacred places like Mecca and Medina, where violence and weapons are prohibited.
- Islam prohibits carrying weapons in mosques and forbids threatening others with weapons, even in jest.
- Maintaining public safety and preventing fear in society is a religious and moral obligation.
Food Security and Economic Stability
- Food security is critical and must be visible to the public to prevent panic.
- Selling food before physically possessing it is discouraged to avoid creating fear and uncertainty.
- Hoarding essential goods (food, fuel, etc.) is condemned as it causes injustice and disrupts social security.
- Islam encourages increasing production and sustainable management of resources to ensure community welfare.
Social and Economic Conditions for Security
- Security depends on a culture that values mutual support and absence of selfishness.
- A sound economy and reciprocal social life are essential to maintain security.
- The Islamic nation is positioned to model and export this concept of security based on justice and coexistence.
Practical Guidelines to Promote Security
- Avoid brandishing weapons or frightening others.
- Respect sacred times and places designated for peace (e.g., sacred months and pilgrimage sites).
- Foster trust and transparency in markets to reassure the public.
- Promote ethical behavior that supports collective safety and well-being.
