What is meant by intellectual security and what are its areas?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does intellectual security include protecting the creed and protecting understanding? And what is the difference between understanding, thought, and creed?

Answer:
Intellectual security is protecting the creed and protecting the community from those who meddle, from bandits, and from rebels. This intellectual security means that the ideas of Muslims and their children are safe from polluted ideas and misguided ideas. This is intellectual security. Praise be to Allah, the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the words of the scholars all came with intellectual security, but we must understand it and hold fast to it. This is our intellectual security, but we have neglected it and have come to import intellectual security from the outside. Yes.
