Açıklama The main question of this article which deals with the social and cultural conditions affecting the formation of utopia according to the Quran is: What characteristics does it have that make it distinctive? To investigate this question, the author of the present paper first makes a qualitative content analysis of the exegesis of the verses of the Holy Quran, and then according to the "Grand theory" concepts are coded and classified. He finally identifies the utopia of the Qur'an with two basic characteristics: piety and social control. The utopia depicted by the Quran is not just a mode of utopia in mind, but a utopia which realized in the past and will realize in future. There is no obstacle for its realization in the present conditions as long as those two features are present. In fact, this article is about the realization of the Quranic utopia.
