Elucidating the Illuminationist Model of the Relationship Between Spirituality and Security ‎in Islamic Governance

The relationship between spirituality and security is one of the foundational issues in the domain of Islamic governance, regarding which various approaches have been presented. Some perspectives do not recognize a relationship between these two categories, some emphasize their mutual influence or synergy, and others consider security as arising solely from material and structural factors. The main problem of this research is to elucidate the nature of the relationship between spirituality and security within the framework of Islamic governance. The present study has been conducted using a descriptive-analytical method based on the study of Islamic sources, verses of the Holy Quran, traditions, and the views of Islamic thinkers. The findings of the research indicate that the relationship between spirituality and security in Islamic governance is of an "illuminationist" (Ishraqi) type; meaning that security is neither a phenomenon independent of spirituality nor merely affected by it, but rather considered as a level of manifestation and social emergence of spirituality. This model is grounded in the ontological, anthropological, epistemological, and teleological foundations of Islam, and its logic follows the chain of "spirituality, faith and piety, secure human, secure society, secure governance, and reassuring security". Accordingly, sustainable security in Islamic governance, more than being the product of power and control mechanisms, is the result of the expansion of faith, piety, justice, and spiritual values at individual, social, and institutional levels.
