Introduction
Islamic civilization was formed
with Prophet Mohammed's (PBUH)
mission and his emigration to Medina.
Muslims culminated this Islamic
civilization based upon the teachings of
Qur'an and the orders of the Prophet
(PBUH) and the Imams (PBUH) until the

fifth century AH. With the attacks of the
Crusaders, the Mongols, the fall of
Andalusia and the internal problems of
the Islamic world, Islamic civilization
decayed, but it flourished again during
the Safavids, the Ottomans and the
Gurkhanis of India. In the nineteenth
century, colonialists attacked Muslims,
and again Islamic civilization decayed.
Islamic thinkers in Iran, Egypt, and other
countries have proposed the idea of
coming back to true Islam to confront
Western civilization. Islamic awareness
in Iran began from the Qajar era and
culminated in the victory of the Islamic
Revolution under the leadership of Imam
Khomeini in 1978, causing Islamic
awareness in the Arab world. Due to the
importance of the history of Islamic
civilization, especially the Islamic
awareness that has been created in
Muslim countries, today these types of
researches are of particular importance.
In recent years, numerous books and
articles have been written about the
retrieval of Islamic civilization, each
containing issues of Islamic culture and
civilization, but so far, articles about the
orders of the Supreme Leader on the
process of the expansion of modern
Islamic civilization have not been
written. Hence, the necessity is to write
an article titled "Analysis of the features
of modern Islamic civilization in the
Ayatollah Khamenei's thought".
Statement of Problem design
Islamic civilization, which has
been in ups and downs throughout
history and has been paid attention by
Islamic awareness in Muslim countries,
is of a special place in the speeches of
Ayatollah Khamenei. Therefore, it is
necessary to analyze and investigate the
characteristics of modern Islamic
civilization in his supreme thoughts. The
present article seeks to answer the
position of the leader of the Islamic
Revolution on the new Islamic
civilization and the expression of its
characteristics.
Research methodology
Researches on history and
civilization are considered as
descriptive-qualitative researches. In the
present study, the methods of describing
the data and analyzing the history using
the sources and references and referring
to the library and the Internet have been
used. In historical researches, statistical
analysis is usually not used. For this
