Abstract

This study aimed to explore the level of promoting the concept of intellectual security within the community from the perspective of mosque imams in the province of Laghouat. The study sample consisted of 60 mosque imams, and a descriptive approach was employed. A questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The study found that the majority of the sample respondents' responses were mostly at a high level in the three dimensions (identity and nationality, dialogue and acceptance of others, cultural and civilizational belonging) of intellectual security. The results also showed differences in the role of imams in promoting the concept of intellectual security from their perspective, attributed to their educational qualifications (PhD holders), years of service (more than 20 years), and place of residence (urban areas).
