The creation of a new Islamic civilization as the ideal of the Islamic Republic of Iran is more taken into consideration in scientific circles in recent years. The interdisciplinary nature of "civilization research" also emphasizes the necessity of addressing this category from a variety of dimensions. The Supreme Leader has emphasized on the component of "effective human capital training" in order to create a new Islamic civilization and recommended innovative and scholarly look at the formal education system and formulating the appropriate educational philosophy. The purpose of this research is, firstly, to explain the relationship between the educational philosophy of society and the modern Islamic civilization, and, second, to explain the ideal philosophy of education with civilizational approach (based on the Supreme Leader views). The research method is descriptive-analytical-deductive. First, by justifying the role of the educational system in: providing the human capital necessary for making civilization, developing the spiritual-ethical characteristics, institutionalizing the Islamic lifestyle, preparing for entry into higher education and producing science and technology, and nurturing the next generation of intellectual elites (for the production and promotion of intellect), which is needed for civilization making, justifies the relationship between philosophy of education and civilization. Then, the four components of the desired philosophy of education were formulated in the form of: fundamental and basic actions, education goals, educational approach and educational dimensions. Based on the findings, to fulfill the general goal of education (training the human capital of Islamic civilization), there are ten intermediate goals in eight dimensions: spiritual, psychological- personal, ethical, scientific, civic, cultural-political, physical, and professional-economic obtained. Finally, an appropriate educational approach was proposed, entitled "faithful effective human education".
