Xinjiang is an area where Muslims live massively, and where Islam has wide and deep effects. The development of minority areas is always closely related with religions problems. Religious factors, especially Islam is an important factor that must be considered during the social construction in Xinjiang. So, it has great realistic meaning to adjust Islam to socialism society.The Koran is the basic book of Muslim, is where Muslims beliefs lie, and is the foundation of Muslims'thought and action. To probe harmonious thought that lies in the Koran, to dig its value, and to combine the religious rule with universe social rules must take active effect in guiding Muslims to take part in constructing harmonious Xinjiang.Based on the research fruit of others, by generalizing, summing up and refining, it is thought in the article that the Koran involves sufficient harmonious thoughts, including the harmony between mankind and nature, between human and society, between individual body and mind etc. which not only had greatly affected Muslims'life and social practice in history, specifying Muslims'social psychology and their acting way, and also it does now.It is thought further in the article that the harmonious thought in the Koran has the following features as sanctification in faith, feasibility in practice, and exclusiveness in culture etc. Its effect is complicated because of the restrict of the history and surroundings. Its ultimate aim is to make the whole Muslin united and harmonious, which is suitable to the contemporary social ideal pursuit to constructing harmonious society in Xinjiang. However, in order to evaluate the meaning of all Muslims harmony and unity, we must correctly deal with the relationship between the universality and the particularity, between the partial benefit and common benefit, and avoid the trend of one-side and extremalization. That is where the meaning of probing the contemporary harmonious thought in the Koran lies in.It is systems engineering to adjust religion to socialism. To take measure based on the religion itself is not only possible but also necessary. The viewpoint in the Koran should be more persuasive and more authoritative. Perhaps it provides another new visual angle for the research on how to make Islam to serve the contemporary society.
