Humanity has traversed a long and eventful history filled with interactions and conflicts. Alongside all its hardships and opportunities for human society, this long history has also laid the groundwork for the formation of human civilizations. Focusing on the current civilizational conflict between west and Islam, this paper aims to study some of the most significant contemporary Islamic events that have placed Western civilization in a position of weakness and reaction, following a brief overview of the history of the clash of civilizations between the West and Islam. The Iranian Islamic Revolution, as well as the Arbaeen pilgrimage and the civilizational opportunities present therein, are topics that have been examined through this approach. The primary question of this research is to identify the focal point around which the Islamic front should rally its discourse to achieve victory in this mentioned clash of civilizations.

The authors' methodology in this research is historical analysis. By scrutinizing a historical period of civilizational conflict between the West and Islam up to the present day, and mentioning two examples of the Iranian Islamic Revolution and the Arbaeen pilgrimage, they have elucidated the significance of Islamic discourse in such a clash.

Some of the most notable findings include:he Iranian Islamic Revolution can be regarded as a highly successful example of the functional role of religion and religious discourse in the contemporary world.From the perspective of the founder and leader of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, its victory marks the commencement of Islam's return to its rightful place in civilization.The project of Islamophobia serves as a crucial strategy for adversaries to counter Islam and Islamic civilization.It can be argued that the Arbaeen pilgrimage over the past decade has played a complementary role to the Iranian IslamicRevolution, nullifying some of the most significant schemes of the enemy to defeat the Islamic front. The Islamic Revolution in Iran introduced the notion of a global mission to propagate Islam and establish Islamic civilization and it appears that the role of Arbaeen is to advance this idea further and overcome obstacles in its path.It is believed that the most effective way for the Islamic front to confront its civilizational rivals is to encourage people to contemplate the teachings of Islam and to elucidate and introduce them to the world, which constitutes an operational strategy for confronting Western civilization. Such a notion, which determines both the method and content of confrontation, is the linchpin for victory in such a clash.The decision-makers of the Islamic front have not paid enough attention to their fundamental and vital principle, namely the innate and salvational teachings of Islam, in their civilizational confrontation with Western civilization.

The future of this civilizational clash, will be synonymous with the triumph of the Islamic front if it directs all its efforts towards strengthening its most crucial civilizational element, which is none other than the religion of Islam, and shapes the front of the devout and the free in the world. The key to progress lies in exploring and recognizing the inherent potentials within Islam and entrusting them to construct a model for a global civilization. The success of the Iranian Islamic Revolution signifies a step towards the resurgence of Islamic civilization in an era characterized by the decline of Islamic civilization and the complete dominance of Western civilization. Additionally, recent events like the Arbaeen pilgrimage represent the actualization of another immense potential hidden within the essence of Islam, which, if understood truly, has the potential to pose a serious challenge to Western civilization, thereby providing evidence in support of this claim.

The main purpose of this article is to present Imam Musa Sadr's view on what Western civilization is and its characteristics. This issue has not been discussed in Sadr's opinion so far, and therefore the topics of the article and the arguments raised in this field are completely new and can be read in the framework of Sadr's civilizational theory. Sadr's look at Western civilization is a deep look based on knowledge and according to the ideas and existing realities. From the author's point of view, Sadr considers the only civilization that can compete with Islamic civilization to be Western civilization, and for this reason, he has criticized and evaluated this civilization in various cases, and in order to explain his view on Islamic civilization, he has distinguished the current and dominant civilization. The West has important criticisms. Therefore, in the present article, we will discuss some of these criticisms with the method of theme analysis, which are very important in understanding the western civilization. An important point that can be presented as a finding of the article is that because the Islamic world does not repeat the way of the West and learns from its harms, it should get to know the civilization of the West. From Sadr's point of view, Western civilization is a declining civilization, according to Sadr's intellectual and philosophical view of this civilization, but the West is trying to continue its life with various means. One of these tools is the imposition of wars and conflicts all over the world, especially in the Middle Eastregion, where most of the energy resources lie. The West wants to continue to dominate the energy resources in the Middle East region. From Sadr's point of view, the existence of Israel in the region and its support by the Western world as the result of Western civilization and the main defender of Western interests in the West Asian region can be justified under the political philosophy of Western civilization. Therefore, supporting this regime is a form of supporting the principle of Western civilization. In fact, Israel is a mirror of the whole view of Western civilization and it shows the West's pretentious face well. It became clear from the brief discussions that Imam Musa Sadr has serious and deep discussions about Western civilization. What stands out among these topics is his critical approach to Western civilization. This critical view is more focused on the intellectual, philosophical, religious and moral foundations than the appearances and superstructures of such a civilization. From Sadr's point of view, these civilization indicators are associated more clearly in issues such as the colonization of other nations and the tragedies that have befallen other nations. Therefore, the consequences of Western civilization are so great in Sadr's opinion that Muslim nations should not neglect these consequences for a moment. An example of the consequences of Western civilization can be seen in the establishment and domination of the Zionist regime in the heart of the Middle East. Racial discrimination, confusion and aimlessness, the emergence of colorful dictators in the region, the determination of the boundaries and territory of thinking and the creation of Israel, as a product and result of Western civilization, are only part of the consequences of Western civilization that have affected many countries. This is why Israel becomes absolute evil and absolute falsehood.

In recent centuries, democracy has been one of the most popular political systems in Western countries and also considered by some governments and nations in the Islamic world. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the formation of a democratic government (the Islamic Republic of Iran), the exploration of democratic systems increased significantly and was examined from different approaches and with different concerns. However, the less considered approach has been that of civilization. With a causal-descriptive approach, this research deals with those parts of the Western democratic systems that have played a special role in building the capacity for civilization. Therefore, dealing with democratic governments is not only related to their democracy, but also to the position of democracy in the formation and continuation of Western civilization and the capacity of this system in the formation and consistency of new Islamic civilization. The results show that, due to the principle of autonomy, the Western philosophical anthropology and the type of attitude towards politics and the concept of power, the civilized position of this system in the Western civilization can be proved with an ontological approach. However, due to the contradiction of the fundamental values of the two systems of thought of Islam and the West, integration in the Western civilization, declination in the horizon of the Western civilization and its failure in building human dignity, this system can not build capacity and lay the groundwork for the formation and continuation of new Islamic civilization

The Supreme Leader, as a revolutionary thinker, raised an important issue called the realization of a new Islamic civilization, which is strategically important, and research on this issue has a religious and theological approach in that it is in line with the divine promise in the Qur'an. It matters. The problem is that Western civilization, based on liberal principles and humanistic anthropology, is now being widely propagated and there is concern that in the not-too-distant future it will permeate Islamic societies, including the Islamic Republic, with Islamic teachings and goals. The Islamic Revolution is in conflict. Imam Khamenei has proposed a new Islamic civilization in the face of the invasion of Western civilization. Therefore, in order to increase knowledge and strengthen the intellectual and doctrinal strength, the question must be answered: What are the preconceptions and theological and doctrinal infrastructures for the realization of the new Islamic civilization? The possible answer to this question is that belief in the maximum religion and association with the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the like can be considered as the foundations of the realization of a new Islamic civilization. This article has tried; Using library tools and referring to the Supreme Leader's website, and using the method of Sabro Taksim argument, he first tests and hypothesizes all the hypotheses and then selects the acceptable ones, and finally agrees with the conclusion that believing in the maximum religion, Monotheism, central Imamate and Islamic anthropology are considered as preconditions for the realization of a new Islamic civilization.
