Abstract Security levels are among the elements and components of a security theory. One of the different dimensions of security levels in security studies is its political dimension. The review of security studies indicates that not many researches have been done in this field. This article attempts to examine the Quranic and Narrative bases of the levels of political security and its threats in the security school of Islam. Therefore, Qur'anic and hadith propositions indicating the levels of political security and its threats were extracted using the research and inferential study method. The existence of six individual (micro), community, national (medium), regional, national and international (macro) levels for political security, as well as the possibility of existential threat to the authorities of each level by the authorities of other levels in the school of Islamic Security Among the most important results are inferred from verses and hadiths.

Abstract The concept of security, like other simple concepts, can lead to the formation of different "intellection" in the process of "understanding"; because it is historical and under different paradigms, it takes on different meanings. From this point of view, the birth of the concept of security in its classical sense can be considered as coinciding with the emergence of the political paradigm; A paradigm in which security was on a par with maintaining political order and the integrity of the nation-state. After that, the transition from the political paradigm to the economic paradigm of security took place; Above all, in the form of "social security", efforts to reduce class distance and increase social justice became the focus of security studies. From the end of the twentieth century onwards, we are witnessing the emergence of the cultural paradigm of security. This article argues that the transition to the cultural paradigm of security is a direct result of the late modernization that gave rise to new theories of security, the most important part of which is the theory of community security; Which puts the confidence of individuals and social groups in preserving their identity and values in the focus of security studies.
