In Islamic societies, where religious, ethical, and spiritual values play a central role in shaping political and social structures, the need for an authentic, indigenous governance model rooted in religious texts—particularly the Holy Quran—has become increasingly evident. This study aims to delineate a model of good governance based on Quranic teachings, with a focus on strengthening political security in Islamic societies. Utilizing a deductive thematic interpretation method and directed qualitative analysis, relevant Quranic verses concerning governance and political security were extracted and analyzed. The findings reveal that the Quran categorizes governance challenges into two levels: governmental (tyranny, injustice, and arrogance) and societal (division, moral corruption, and weak faith). The proposed Quranic model is founded on principles of justice, meritocracy, accountability, and public participation. This research offers practical solutions for achieving good governance in contemporary Islamic societies. The results indicate that political security, within the Quranic framework, extends beyond mere systemic stability, emerging as a product of social justice, transparency, accountability, and active citizen participation. By presenting a theoretical and practical model, this study addresses gaps in the literature on Islamic governance and provides policy recommendations for contemporary Islamic societies.
