Abstract
Qur'an affects people's thoughts and worldviews, so it steers their behaviors. The main aim of Qur'an is to introduce a way of life with Allah at the centre to individuals and society and to provide a change in people's attitudes. Qur'an aims to overcome inequalities and unfairnesses in the society and to dominate the life with holy rules so that there will be a fair society. Believers in Qur'an dispute with these thoughts to change the structure of the society. Qur'an emphasizes that social conflicts occur because of these obstructions made by the rest of the society to prevent the believers. Drawing attention to the importance of the rulers and their power, Qur'an advises the believers to follow a method during the conflicts. Qur'an says that conflicts are based on a sacred ground while providing a social order when it assesses the disputes in economical, classical and pluralist societies.
