The Place of the Primary and Fundamental Human Needs in the Quran Verses with a Look to the Johan Galtung’s Theory in the Categories of Peace and Violence

From the view of Johan Galtung war is merely a form of violence and peace is not gained through armistice but it is took place by the absence of violence. Galtung defines that violence is the avoidable impairment and disturbance for the satisfaction of the fundamental needs of human beings and every violence is the origin of the next chain of violence, Therefore for achieving peace the cycle of violence should be broke and this does not occur except with eliminating the injustice and discriminatory relations among nations. From his view the culture is the origin of these relations and the religion which is of the main components of the culture has a vital role in establishing peace or the propagation of violence. In the present note the main issue is what the place of the primary and basic human needs in the Quran teachings. Have these needs been respected and recognized in the holy Quran? The positive response to this question will mean peace-centered of the Quran teachings and the negative response will mean the violence-centered of the Quran Teachings. This research with analytic-descriptive method has been adopted and at the end it results that the primary and basic human needs have a superior position in the holy Quran. The correlation of the concepts “corruption and shortcomings” with violence and the correlation of the concept “aggression with the intention to create corruption on the earth” with terrorism is a sign of Islam intention to combat with violence and terrorism.
