How do i take a good quality photo in the dark without using flash on a dslr?
I have a Nikon 3100
Thank you in advance 
Use a tripod and long exposure. If your subject is not likely to move (or will move so fast you could not freeze its motion anyway), use low ISO and more exposure rather that turning up the ISO. High ISO causes noise, and at low light levels the problem is even worse.
Focusing the kit lens can be a problem if the light is very low. You may need a flashlight to illuminate something, or you may need to find something bright on the horizon. If that is not in the spot in the scene you want, you could try pre-auto-focusing, and then switch your focus from auto to manual. Then do not change the focus or the zoom. Changing the zoom may change the focal point.
For exposures longer than 30 seconds use bulb and the optional remote.
For slow shutter tripod shots use the remote, or give it at least 5 seconds of time delay. That will allow vibrations to settle down.
