Abstract

The concept of human security has been investigated significantly during the past three decades in international contemporary viewpoints. In the related international United Nation literature, a significant shift from the concept of “state security” to “human individualized security” has occurred. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of religion in human life and the importance of security, from the perspective of religion. This analytic-descriptive study describes and analyzes the shifting concept of security in international modern terminology as well as defining the term of security rooted in religions including Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam to answer the main question. Due to the diversity of religions, the doctrine of three great religions—Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam—has been selected for this work and the importance of human security in these religions and the effect of religious ethics and morality on the preservation and development of human security from the perspective of these religions has been evaluated.
