Abstract :The aim of this study, which will contribute the discussions of worldpeace in an humble way, is to evaluate the Quranic verses that we consider related to justice for everybody, taking into account classical and modern approaches, especially the ones in Quran exegesis literature. In this paper, various questions related to this matter will be discussed: What is the content of justice? What does the Quran mean when it says "judge among men in truth (and justice)”? Is there any ambivalent attitude in implementing justice related to close relatives? What does the Quran advise Muslims about the justice demands of non-Muslims? Is it a problem if the persecuted ones are Muslims or not? Does the Quran impose its own law upon the ones who want to practice their own (canonical) law? Does the Quran present all non-Muslims as a single category, or distinguish between non-Muslims who fight against Muslims and those who do not? Does hatred against a community legalize unjust behavior against that community?Keywords : The Quran, justice, right to choose another law system.
