Anatomy of Security Dimensions from the perspective of Ayatollah Mahdavi Kenny

Security is one of the most important and basic elements of any government. Most theoretical foundations in the field of security studies are from Western texts. There have been some attempts to localize these studies in recent years, but there is still much work to do. The purpose of this article is to attempt to reach this goal by attempting to take a step in this important direction by content analysis method of Ayatollah Mahdavi Kenny. The reason for Ayatollah Mahdavi Kenny's election is that in the early years of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he was responsible for securing the country in two important organizations, the Islamic Revolutionary Committee and the Ministry of the Interior. Researchers seek to answer the question of what dimensions and priorities should be found in Ayatollah Mahdi's conception of security. To answer this question, two sets of sources were examined, each of which merely promoted one piece of work. By carefully examining the theoretical sources in the field of security and the sources related to Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani, the authors have finally succeeded in dissecting the dimensions of security from their point of view so that the output of this research will greatly contribute to indigenous security studies. The result shows that: Ayatollah Mahdavi Kenny, while accepting the common dimensions of security, but believes that the basis of these dimensions must be Islam and Islamic culture and, above all, the ethical dimension of Islam, because if not so many grand plans, They will not reach their true home, and instead of building on ethics, they will be shaped by inappropriate policies.
