This article conceptualizes the relationship between the components of modern Islamic civilization and the indicators of Islamic lifestyle on the basis of a structural analysis of the geometric organization of Surah al-Ḥadīd. It addresses the main question of how the Islamic lifestyle in the modern age can be modeled in light of civilizational components such as faith and a monotheistic worldview, rationality, spirituality, economic justice, Islamic governance, and faith-based, mission-driven management. The methodological approach relies on analyzing the four thematic segments of the surah, identifying the relevant components, and assessing their connections with both theoretical and practical lifestyle indicators, while quantifying verse–indicator relations and employing measures such as the number of possible links, a “decision number,” and TF–IDF weighting. The findings indicate that, at the civilizational level, faith and a monotheistic worldview occupy the central position of the model, with rationality, spirituality, and Islamic governance forming the main pillars of Islamic civilization, and economic justice and faith-based, mission-driven management also playing indispensable roles. At the lifestyle level, emulation of  the Prophet and the infallibles in the theoretical domain,  and divine servitude in the practical domain, emerge as the key axes that  orient other indicators and function as the connective link between the monotheistic worldview and the regulation of economic, social, and moral relations within the framework of Islamic governance.

Considering the common components emphasized in various definitions of "Security" reveals that these definitions have predominantly focused on either its negative (removal of threats) or positive (provision of well-being) aspects, but have not concurrently addressed both dimensions. The central question of this research is to determine which components constitute security from the perspective of the Holy Quran and which aspect—negative or positive—is emphasized in the context of its formation. The results of this study, using a descriptive-analytical method and employing the analysis of substitute concepts, indicate that security in the Quranic view consists of two main components, "Safety" and "Tranquility," the former being based on the negative aspect and the latter on the positive aspect. Within the semantic framework of the Holy Quran, the synergy of these negative and positive aspects yields a more complete level of security, referred to by the superior term " Salām " (peace). "Peace" is higher and more sublime than "Safety" because it describes a situation not only devoid of anything that causes human aversion but also replete with everything that is agreeable to human nature.

The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive dataset for interdisciplinary research on the Qur’an and the environment. Conducted with a descriptive–analytical approach, the study examined all verses of the Qur’an based on authoritative translations and commentaries. In this process, 766 verses on human–environment relations were identified and classified into 15 categories, such as humans as part of nature, human vicegerency on earth, the subjugation of nature, legitimate use of natural blessings in this world and the hereafter, and the prohibition of corruption and destruction of the environment. In addition, 833 environmental instances were extracted and grouped into eight main categories: climate and atmosphere (27%), marine environment (1%), animal environment (10%), animal products (6%), plant environment (19%), plant products (8%), the solar system (22%), and human industries derived from nature (7%). Conceptual analysis indicated that these relations can be interpreted at three key levels, ethical, jurisprudential, and eschatological, showing that the Qur’an presents nature as a divine blessing and a trust given to humankind, emphasizing both proper utilization and the moral and eschatological consequences of environmental corruption. This dataset provides a novel foundation for future research in environmental ethics and Islamic jurisprudence, as well as for rethinking responses to contemporary environmental crises.
