<![CDATA[The Strawberry Generation phenomenon describes a number of vulnerability characteristics in a segment of the youth population, such as giving up easily, lacking resilience under pressure, and tending to orient toward short-term pleasure. This condition highlights the critical need for education that not only develops intellectual potential but also builds moral and spiritual resilience. The purpose of this study is to promote the concept of transformative-transcendent education and its urgency in addressing the challenges posed by the strawberry generation. This study employs a library research method using content analysis of literature concerning Kuntowijoyo's prophetic values and the Quranic paradigm in Surah Al-Jumu'ah [62]: 2, as well as Søren Kierkegaard’s existentialism. The results of the synthesis demonstrate that the Quranic paradigm provides an epistemological orientation, prophetic values supply the principles of humanization, liberation, and transcendence, while Kierkegaard provides the direction for transformation from the aesthetic stage toward the ethical and religious stages. This synthesis yields a Transformative-Transcendent Education model that integrates Quranic recitation, self-purification, the teaching of knowledge and wisdom, as well as the values of humanization, liberation, and transcendence to foster individuals who grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually. In practice, this research can be implemented in the learning processes of formal, non-formal, and informal educational institutions]]>
