Author

Abstract

The security is a divine grace with which a person can live commonly and peacefully, by enjoying a secure situation. The right for enjoying this situation is called, the right of security. Considering the implication between supporting the of security and taking the individual right, the most important benefit which a person gets in this situation, is his ability to perfome and to take his own right. In deed, creating security means creating an opportunity and a special situation for protecting individual rights against threats imposed upon people, particularly by the government and it is officials.The governmental strategy of Imam Ali for providing this right is to provide for people and inspire a perception (to them) in terms of which no threats face people by the government and it is officials. Imam does this by issuing conclusive orders to officials, and by warning, reproaching and punishing them, if they have not observed people.
