Contemporary global dynamics are marked by persistent social disparities and humanitarian crises, underscoring an urgent need for paradigm reconstruction grounded in spiritual-social values. This study aims to analyze the construction of the rahmatan lil 'alamin (mercy to all creation) concept within Qur'anic exegesis and to examine its relevance to the vision of humanity and social justice as a response to contemporary challenges. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research utilizes library-based methods with thematic content analysis of classical and contemporary exegesis, as well as scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. The findings indicate that the rahmatan lil 'alamin concept integrates theological and anthropological dimensions that affirm universal human dignity, principles of social justice (al-'adl), equitable economic distribution, and inclusive humanitarian values including tolerance, compassion, and religious moderation. This study recommends the development of an integrative Islamic education curriculum, the strengthening of interfaith dialogue, the implementation of economic justice, and the contextualization of rahmatan lil 'alamin values within public policies to foster an inclusive and harmonious society.
