Peaceful coexistence of human beings is an approach that considers peaceful life of people and the recognition of their social rights regardless of the rightness of school of thoughts and manners or weal and woe of the people. The purpose of the peaceful coexistence of human beings transcends the issues of war, or peace versus war, and it is a method which includes cooperation with and benefaction to others. Previous studies on the subject have mostly addressed the perspective of Quran about peaceful coexistence with followers of divine religions (People of the Book) and in these studies little attention has been paid to "man" regardless of his thoughts and beliefs. To this end, this study aims to comparatively review the Qur'anic teachings and human findings encapsulated in the international human rights law. The research hypothesis is that Quran recommends peaceful coexistence among all people. The only exception is the people who are at war with Muslims and have taken up arms against an Islamic state, or those who oppress helpless people, depriving them from their freedom and fundamental rights.
