The Role of Islamic Humanities in the Modern Islamic Civilization in Iranian Supreme Leader’s View

The modern Islamic civilization has been considered as the last stage of the five stages in the process of realization of the goals of Imam Khomeini’s movement. The main question of this article is as follows: “what is the role and status of Islamic humanities in achieving that goal?” To answer the question, we have considered the definition of the modern Islamic civilization in Iranian Supreme Leader’s view to explain the role and the relationship of humanities with different sections of the modern Islamic civilization and the process of its realization. Since the Supreme Leader regards civilization as the ground for human’s all-out progress and maintains that the main pillar of civilization is the spiritual transcendence and Islamic lifestyle and the instrumental section of civilization is human’s material growth, i.e. science, invention, industry, politics, economics, political and military authority, we may say that humanities will be influential in three lines in the modern Islamic civilization: The main part of civilization, i.e. the lifestyle The instrumental part of civilization, i.e. the science, industry, economics, etc. All-out material and spiritual progress Considering the distinguishing feature of this civilization and its privilege over the western civilization is its being Islamic, the humanities, the model of progress and the lifestyle must be naturally Islamic.
