This article aims to demonstrate the dominance and prevalence of mercy and compassion over all principles and rulings related to women in the Holy Qur'an. The Qur'anic view of women has always been subject to criticism and evaluation. Numerous verses in the Qur'an address the status of women in Islam. An overall review of these verses shows that mercy and compassion are two overarching principles that permeate all these principles and rulings. This article examines the supremacy of the principle of mercy in the Qur'anic perspective on women. This examination is conducted across three dimensions of a woman's life: the individual, familial, and social dimensions. In the individual dimension, the Qur'anic merciful view of women is manifested in the following principles:1- Equality of men and women in the essence and substance of creation.2- Shared participation of both genders in the balance of creation, a common human identity, shared servitude as the purpose of creation, similarity in the Divine nature, and shared fundamental human dignity with its various aspects and forms.3- The value of women's deeds in the Qur'an and their equal status in attaining spiritual ranks are other facets of the Qur'anic merciful view regarding the individual dimension of a woman's personality. In familial roles, the dominance of mercy manifests itself in a different, and perhaps more explicit, way. Examples of the Qur'anic merciful view of women in the familial dimension include: The principle of living together amicably. The introduction of affection and mercy as the fundamental pillars of the family. Emphasis on kindness and the invitation to good even in the most critical of marital relationships. The supremacy of mercy in the social sphere can be clearly seen in the presentation of women as role models for the community of believers. This is demonstrated by women such as Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, who is introduced as an example of faith, resistance against tyranny, and steadfastness against oppression, and Mary, who is introduced as a model of chastity, purity, and innocence. The totality of these cases indicates that the overall and overarching view of the Qur'an regarding women is a perspective founded on mercy, and all other specific issues must be explained and interpreted in light of this perspective.

For several centuries, Islamic philosophy has been in a state of "isolation," meaning it has lost its contemporaneity; it neither solves "problem" nor, at the very least, actively and seriously engages with contemporary issues. This paper, while addressing the nature, possibility, and realization of Islamic philosophy; the achievements of Islamic philosophy; and the historical evolution of Islamic philosophy (in early, late, and contemporary periods), distinguishes three types of Islamic philosophy: Islamic philosophy as a concept; Islamic philosophy as an actualized phenomenon (Peripatetic, Illuminationist, Sadrian, and Neo-Sadrian); and the future Islamic philosophy. The future Islamic philosophy is an ideal one, could emerge later, contingent on certain conditions and prerequisites, such as addressing contemporary issues, particularly socio-cultural and practical issues. It seems that the survival of Islamic philosophy and its avoidance of becoming merely historical -in contrast to the idea of the "end of Islamic philosophy"- depends on this. Since the ideal Islamic philosophy is one that solves problem, this naturally requires problem-oriented philosophical research. Thus, highlighting the importance of problem-oriented research; the nature of a problem; and the differences between a problem, subject, question, and difficulty, the paper will propose the most important and central strategies that could actualize the future or ideal Islamic philosophy. These strategies include: philosophical attention to new sciences and technologies; considering the fourth wave in philosophy; engaging with "Philosophy of"; adopting concrete approaches in philosophy; conducting interdisciplinary researches in philosophy; and employing new methods in philosophy.
