Özet: Social exclusion, one of the most important problems of modern communities, is quite special notion, not only because it causes to poverty and inequality but also affects social unity in the politic, social and economic areas. Therefore, it is easy to say that the exclusion is multidimensional and dynamic problem that can emerge in every aspects of  human life having negative influence on it. Man is social entity because of its nature and in case it maintains its life among the society, can live in a proper way which is suitable for this situation. When it is excluded, it also becomes far away from its nature, so social and individual difficulties turn to inevitable phases. This is why the Quran aims to eliminate exclusion. The Quran, accepts individuals as valuable and qualifies their being excluded and humiliated as so wrong, especially depending on their unchangeable features. According to Quran, everybody is equal whether in terms of indivudial or social. Owing to Quran's this integrating approach, woman and poors beside slaves who are excluded by disbelievers and the other groups, embraced Islam more easily. At the same time, this is one of the reasons of why rich and wealthy groups that see themselves more superior than others, have not embraced the Islam.
