The findings indicate that a secure community establishes the necessary foundations for societal progress and stability, reinforcing the importance of laws and ethical guidelines derived from Islamic teachings.

Conclusions: The study recommends researching Quranic verses and noble prophetic hadiths to comprehend their meanings in a manner that achieves human happiness in this world and the hereafter. Additionally, it suggests establishing awareness programs derived from the Quran and Sunnah to spread security and goodness in societies and highlight Islam's concern for human and societal issues.
