Abstract
This study explores the "Societal Security System" by analyzing and grounding the foundations mentioned in the Prophetic Hadith: "Whoever among you wakes up secure in his community..." considering it a benchmark model for achieving comprehensive human stability. The study aims to construct an objective vision that links the three dimensions of security: (social, health, and food security), and analyzes their effectiveness in addressing contemporary challenges. The research employs an objective-deductive approach to interpret the interrelationship between these foundations and their impact on shaping the concept of a "Good Life" (Al-Hayat al-Tayyibah). The study concludes that security in Islam is an integrated productive system that begins with individual awareness and culminates in collective stability. It recommends the necessity of integrating these Prophetic foundations into comprehensive community development plans.
