The strawberry generation phenomenon, which characterizes the young generation with a fragile mentality, low fighting spirit, and sensitivity to criticism, is a serious challenge in human resource development. This study aims to explore the Qur’anic solution to this phenomenon through an analysis of Q.S. an-Nisa’ [4]: 9 with a contemporary interpretation approach. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, this study analyzes the interpretations of four contemporary commentators: Muhammad Abduh (Tafsir al-Manar), Sayyid Thanthawi (Tafsir al-Wasith), Mustafa al-Maraghi (Tafsir al-Maraghi), and Wahbah al-Zuhaili (Tafsir al-Munir). The results of the study indicate that the meaning of dhi’afa (weak) in this verse can be expanded from economic and physical weakness to mental and spiritual weakness experienced by the strawberry generation. This study found three main solutions, namely raising awareness and practical concerns for the next generation; making piety the foundation of mental and spiritual resilience; implementing educational communication (qaulan sadida) in daily interactions. These three solutions form a holistic, Qur’anic-based framework for building mental resilience in the younger generation.
