Abstract

The issue of security has always been one of the most essential human needs and the most important concern of rulers and one of the most challenging topics for scientists. The main question of this research is, what security strategies did the Imams of Masoomin (AS) use? In other words, this article has sought to achieve strategies for providing security, based on the perspective of Imams Masoomin, peace be upon them, who are considered the best examples in all aspects of human life. In order to achieve this goal, the books of Arba'ah, which are one of the most important Shia sources in the knowledge of the Imams of the Infallibles (AS), have been used as the text and the content analysis method has been used to analyze the data. The independent variable is mainly their time and place conditions, which is the reason for the difference in the characteristics of Ahl al-Bayt's strategies, and security is also considered as a dependent variable. The results of the research show: "According to their historical conditions, the innocents have used four security strategies of restraining power and exercising legitimate power, the security strategy of expediency, the security strategy of enjoining good and forbidding evil, and the security strategy of taqiyyah."
