Özet: Society is a set of structures that sustain and support each other. Religion comes first among these structures, people need social support at every stage of their life in order to survive in a society where every individual has a different identity. The Quran contains many social, moral, humanitarian issues. The basis of the study is social support in the context of religious brotherhood. The social support can be classified into four groups in the light of Qur’anic verses from a psycho-sociological perspective: a) emotional, b) instrumental, c) cognitive (knowledge) and d) widespread support. From this point of view, it is among the findings that the Quran referred to the social support function on almost every subject related religious brotherhood in the study. It was observed that the religious brotherhood, which forms the basis of the study, is a concept that unites together society on a common ground, regardless of language, race, lineage and it directly coincides with the consciousness of being an ummah. Nevertheless, taking care of the poor, orphans, those who have difficulties, those who are separated and oppressed are regarded as the right of brotherhood. Moreover, finding a solution to brothers’ problem, whatever their problem is, and at least just supporting them are also regarded as the right of brotherhood. It has been an obligation to do what is necessary regarding to the right of brotherhood. There are punishments and reprimands for people who don’t fulfill their responsibilities in the Quran.
