Abstract

Objective: One of the goals of the Islamic Revolution, considering its cultural dimensions, is to create a new Islamic civilization, which has been emphasized by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and today is considered as one of the needs of the Islamic society and even the Muslims of the world. For this reason, the main focus of the present study is to study the educational and cultural impulses in the formation of a new Islamic civilization based on the thoughts of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution. The question of the present study is: What are the most important educational and cultural drivers of Iranian society to achieve a new Islamic civilization?
Method: The method used by the present study to study the subject of modern Islamic civilization in the views of Ayatollah Khamenei is descriptive-analytical, which is obtained by examining the views and statements of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and other sources and documentary books related to the subject.
Findings: The findings of the present study show that the new Islamic civilization has important cultural impulses, which can include modeling based on justice, negation of materialism and attention to spirituality, attention to committed and specialized revolutionary forces, Scientificism and the upbringing of academic and educational elites committed and loyal to the values of the Islamic Revolution as the main drivers of modern Islamic civilization in the thoughts of Ayatollah Khamenei.
Conclusion: Modern Islamic civilization, based on educational and cultural impulses, has both negative and positive aspects. Negative means criticizing Western civilization and exposing its moral, political, social and economic weaknesses. Because material advances such as machinery, industry, technology, and human wealth and education based on it cannot be indicative of a model civilization for humanity. On the positive side, the new Islamic civilization, by considering morality and spirituality, public comfort and security for Muslims and non-Muslims, the combination of religion and the world, and the promotion of spirituality, can be a fulcrum for pulling contemporary man out of unbridled Western morality, and introducing a competent Islamic and humane model.
