A Jurisprudential Study of the Right to Have Peace with Emphasis on the Verses of the Holy Qur'an

Living in a peaceful environment away from war has been one of the most important human aspirations and many efforts have been made to achieve it, including the recognition of the "right to have peace", according to which "living in peace" as "the right of human" has been affirmed and emphasized along with other recognized human rights. However, in addition to the humanistic schools, war and jihad have been emphasized in Islam in some cases, and Muslims are allowed to wage jihad and fight against those with whom they are at war. The question, which this paper seeks to answer, is whether the right to live in peace can be recognized for those who are not at war with Muslims, including non-Muslims. In answer to this question, it seems that by referring to religious arguments, especially the verses of the Holy Qur'an, it can be considered that fighting is permissible with those who are at war with Muslims. Therefore, non-Muslims who want to live peacefully with Muslims have the right to live in a peaceful environment.
