Abstract

Islam as a religion of mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) exists within society with great gentleness, capable of manifesting peace and tranquility for humanity and the entire universe, serving as a driving force to aid and guide the millennial generation in forming Islamic morality. Amidst the rapid advancements in time and technology, particularly among the millennial generation, many positive aspects related to morality seem to have been overlooked. However, upon revisiting the concept of Islam as a mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin), it can serve as a reference for acting in accordance with the principles set forth by the religion. This research analyzes how Islam, as a mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin), shapes the moral values of the millennial generation amidst the ongoing progression of time and technology. The methodology employed in this research involves a literature review and analysis of scholarly references related to Islam as a mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) in forming the Islamic morality of the millennial generation. The aim of this study is to discover the concepts and values of Islam as a mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin), particularly in shaping the moral values of the millennial generation and creating virtuous youth. The results of this research demonstrate the presence of Islamic values as a mercy for all creation (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) among the millennial generation. This is evident in their awareness of the connection between religion and morality, such as displaying care and compassion towards others, showing love and kindness to all living beings, respecting others, practicing tolerance, and more. These values align with the definition of Islam as a religion that emerges as a source of peace, tranquility, and gentleness for the entire universe.
