Islamic Awakening; Civilizational Uprising of Islam and the Supreme Leader's View about Islamic Awakening

According to the theory of “civilizational uprising”, Islamic awakening is a revolutionary and identity-giving movement which has been developing for 150 years and passed through several stages. God’s will, the teachings of Islam and the unequal struggle of religious scholars and Muslim world is behind this awakening, which has become a sign of the civilizational property of Islam. This continuous movement, including the outcries and struggle against tyranny and colonialism, the long period of experience and the recent civilizational uprising, has prepared the ground for awakening and independence and identity-seeking. During this period, the Islamic Revolution of Iran could direct this movement, with in more than thirty years of experience and successful performance, and turn in from the state of struggle, and revolution to a state of systemization and pursuit of perfection towards creating Islamic civilization. Accordingly, the recent uprisings in the world of Islam take the form of a civilizational struggle, and follow the Islamic Revolution in Iran as an inspiring example. This struggle is going on between the western civilization and the greatest would-be civilization, i.e. Islam, and the Islamic Revolution acts as its representative.
