This question was asked on a forum, and this is my reply:
Strive to benefit all of Mankind towards peace, equality and positive development by your deeds and understanding of reality.
See: 13:17, 2:82, 49:13, 42:38-43, 18:7, 18:46, 19:76, 11:116-117, 11:114, 23:61-62, 41:46, 16:97, 6:132, 2:177, 51:19, 9:111, 3:103-105, 3:110, 6:160 and hundreds more.
The term Salaha صلح which means 'to reform, to do good to society', is one of the most used words in the Qur'an. The Qur'an constantly emphasis "Those that belief/are entrusted with peace (amaano) and do good works to reform society (AAamiloo alssalihati)" and almost always links Aman/trust/faith/peaceworker to Salaha/to reform society/do good:

23:61 It is those who race with one another ( يسارعونyusari'una=to haste/race/hurry) to improve the quality of life for humanity.( في الخيرات fi Khairati=in striving to surpass one in goodness, to be ideal, show actual or potential usefulness or benefit, be desired in all circumstances and by every person, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, to be better than another person or thing, be the best of things or people, to be generous, possess and show generosity, to surpass one in goodness, and it is those who are worthy of winning good things.)
13:17 …While what is of benefit (ينفع yanfuh= to be profitable/useful/beneficial) to mankind (الناس an-Nas=Mankind/societies/settled humans), abides (فيمكث fa yamkuthu=that it remains/abides/lives/stays) on Earth and all revolving objects (in space) ( الارض al-Ardh= that which revolves/can be walked/lived on/ revolving object/planets/stars).
