Order is one of the important functions of civilization. In order to find out the civilizing capability of an idea, its relationship with this civilizational function of analysis and its efficiency in ordering and systematization must be explained. Since the historical position of the Islamic Revolution is on the threshold of a civilizational upsurge, in order to achieve a new Islamic civilization, it must bring its capitals to the field against its rivals and explore their capacities. The idea of Imamate is considered the most important soft capital of Shia, and it is necessary to find out its basic components for the construction of modern Islamic civilization, capacity measurement and its capabilities for the civilizational functioning of order.The current research aims to produce theoretical literature and reflect the effectiveness of Imamat's thought along social lines, in a library way and with an analytical approach. As the center of civilization, man's possession of desirable characteristics such as science and infallibility will lead to the system and consistency of civilization in the process of designing, building and managing it, and its output is a more comprehensive order than the contractual order in Hobbes's thought and the moral order in Durkheim's thought.

The historical position of the Islamic Revolution, in order to lay the groundwork for the emergence of the last divine proof, is on the threshold of a civilizational rise and demands civilization. Therefore, in order to achieve the new Islamic civilization, it is necessary to bring its main assets to the field in front of its competitors and explore and examine their capacities. The doctrine of Mahdism, as one of the supporting ideas of the Islamic revolution, with the components and indicators that Shia believe in, is considered one of the most important soft and ideological capitals that should be used to build a new Islamic civilization. And its capabilities for efficiency, authority and stability, which are among the important functions of civilization, should be known. The current research aims to produce theoretical literature and reflect the effectiveness of Mahdavi thought in the social direction, in a library way and with an analytical approach. Belief in Mahdi is mobilizing, commitment-creating, responsible, and has a positive effect on the attitude of society's people towards each other and the performance of social duties. In this attitude, ordinary dignity and authority are combined with a soft and spiritual aspect, comprehensive authority is displayed. Belief in the existence of Imam Asr It is the source of strength and hope of the followers for great social movements, and the feeling of support gives a person a sense of power and authority. The category of waiting has become a source of hope and desire and a desire to help and accompany those who are waiting, saving them from emptiness and aimlessness and bringing them to stability and stability.

The Islamic Revolution stands at the threshold of a civilizational renaissance. Since Imāmiyya Shia (Twelver Shīʿism) religion is considered as its theoretical background, obviously, to effectively compete with other ideologies, is crucial for Imamiyya Shia to leverage its core principles in order to construct a new Islamic civilization. By examining the inherent capabilities and civilizational prospects Imamic thought, we can determine the superiority of its Islamic and Shiite ideology. And show that the concept of Imamate, a fundamental pillar of Shi'ism, possesses significant soft power and ideological capital, making it imperative to study its potential for building a Islamic civilization. What capabilities do they have to build a new Islamic civilization?.Civilizations require a software and theoretical framework to thrive and remain stable, and lacking that they either do not take off or are not stable and will quickly decline. Imamate, as a Shiite civilizational criterion, is the provider of this theoretical layer for the modern Islamic civilization. Achieving comprehensive progress a prerequisite for a balanced civilization, necessitates in-depth development and expansion of sciences, particularly in the realm of civilizational studies. If this civilization is to be formed and move forward based on Imamat, it must be involved with the issues of civilization. The introduction of this process is the recognition of the necessity of civilizational research and studies in the thought of Imamate.Because recognizing the necessity of investigations and studies is one of the preliminary topics for entering into any theoretical discussions on a subject, and neglecting this, will beards some challenges for such studies.  On the other hand, explaining the necessity of these studies has been the basis for drawing and discovering the prospects of its development in the realm of thought and theory.Achieving all-round progress that is necessary to reach a balanced civilization, except with the deepening and development of human sciences in vain of this discussions is not achievable.This research tries to provide the necessary platforms for the production of theoretical literature of Islamic civilization based on the doctrine of Imamate in Shiism; Because the clearer, more precise and stronger the theoretical literature of a phenomenon is, the greater the possibility of its realization.This literature helps the rulers and politicians to move towards the general horizon of civilization, to base the general policies of the system in various fields on the general direction of civilization, and it is useful for the researchers of this field to pay attention to the evolution of such researches. The current research is organized based on the library method and analytical approach. Considering that civilizational studies in the thought of Imamate is a broad and practical approach to this theological doctrine, this approach can clarify its capacities for modern Islamic civilization and extend the domain of Imam's affairs to social fields. This research shows that producing theoretical literature for civilization building and inflating civilizational issues, maximizing the heritage, clarifying the advantages of Islamic thought over material thought, discovering the existing general capacity and creating harmony between them, identifying the gaps and leading researches to bridge the theoretical gaps, the maximum assessment of the capacities of the Islamic religion and smoothing the process of achieving a new Islamic civilization, the ability to implement the social rules of Islam, the alignment and synergy of epistemological research on a large scale, Getting rid of generalization and leading to problem-centeredness and practicalization are also some of the factors showing the necessity of civilizational studies in the thought of Imamat.

The rule of “essential necessity” (wudjūb-e bil-thāt) which could be named also as the rule of “Necessity of being” (wudjūb-e wudjūd), because of its role in proving the principles and bases of the Islamic religion, is one of the most important rules of kalam. Research about the realm of the efficacy of this rule in kalami discussions will show that in which issues of the kalami issues it is functional and to which extent the Imamiyyah theologians used it to prove the belief teachings. By using the library method and with a reporting-analytic approach, the present research explored in detail the different functions of the rule of “essential necessity” in the Imami kalami heritance and clarified that this rule is functional in proving the divine perfect attributes and in negating the negative attributes of the divine holiness, and the Imami theologian many times used it in the discussion of monotheism and its related branches.

Rule of wisdom has been regarded as one of the most significant rules in theology, because of its role in establishment of theological doctrines and principles of holy religion of Islam. The survey and investigation about domain of application of this rule in realm of theological issues will suggest that in which affairs this rule is applicable and how much Imamiyah theologians have used it in establishment of religious beliefs. This paper, by method of using library and descriptive-analytic tendency, has analyzed the details of various applications of the rule of wisdom in significant legacy of Imamiyah theology, making clear that this rule is applicable in most of issues and affairs in theology and domain of its application includes affairs like unity of God, prophecy, Imamah, hereafter, and subsidiaries associated with it. Imamiyah theologians have benefited from it so much in establishment of a great deal of religious teachings and doctrines.
