Security is the opposite of fear.

To grant someone security is the opposite of causing them fear.

Allah the Almighty swore by Makkah, saying:
0:20
"And this secure city."
0:22
Meaning, the place of security.
0:24
And the Almighty said regarding the people of Paradise:
0:27
“Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.” (44:51)
0:31
Meaning, they are secure therein from every unpleasant thing.
0:34
A place of safety is a location of security.

Whoever contemplates the verses of the Noble Qur'an,
0:45
Will see that they speak of two levels of security.
0:49
Security at the level of individuals.
0:52
Psychological security.
0:54
And security at the collective level.

The Ummah.

Regarding psychological security,
1:00
We see that the Qur'an links the firmness of the creed of Tawhid in the human soul,
1:06
With security and tranquility.
1:08
Conversely,
1:10
Those whose hearts faith has not permeated,
1:14
Are deprived of tranquility and psychological security.
1:18
They live in fear and trepidation.
1:21
They do not know a purpose for their existence in this universe.
1:25
The Almighty said:
1:27
"Which of the two parties is more deserving of security, if you should know?"
1:32
“Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.” (6:82)
1:37
“Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.” (6:82)
1:41
As for collective security,
1:43
It is in His saying, the Almighty:
1:45
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)
1:50
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)

“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)
