The collected data were analyzed using EXCEL and MAXQDA software. The results showed that according to the Quran, there is no difference between men and women in terms of their creation and nature,and men and women have the same rights and duties in different dimensions of sexual justice.The identified dimensions of gender justice in the verses of the Quran are:1.Justice in the creation of man and woman, 2.Justice in property, 3.Justice in freedom of action, 4.Justice in the reciprocal rights of the spouse. Also, by counting the gender words, it was determined that 80 verses related to the male gender and 73 verses related to the female gender were mentioned. According to the Qur'an, the strategies for achieving gender justice in the Islamic utopia are:promoting spirituality in the family,good fellowship,consultation and consensus,honesty and trust, division of labor and cooperation,informal control.
