Abstract:
The modern Islamic civilization encompasses a collection of ideas, beliefs, sciences, arts, and industries inspired by the teachings of Muslims. This civilization is responsible for the flourishing of human life in both worldly and spiritual domains. Recognizing that humans are multidimensional beings composed of material and spiritual dimensions, this civilization aims to actualize the full potential of human capabilities. However, the fundamental question remains: Can such a civilization, attributed to Islam, actually come into existence, or is it merely a theoretical construct of religious thinkers? Today, due to the lack of sufficient research in the practical realms of religion, our society has adopted a reductionist view of the functions of religion. In light of these circumstances, it is necessary to evaluate the Islamic civilization's prospects by considering the thoughts of Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani, who, in addition to discussing foundations and jurisprudence, has a forward-looking approach to the concept of the advent of the Mahdi. Therefore, this work aims to explore the feasibility of achieving a modern Islamic civilization through a descriptive-analytical method, relying on the ideas of Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani. The author concludes that, according to Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani's perspective, it is essential for society not to settle for the existing state but continuously strive to build a better future. This future-building process must draw upon religious capacities to enable Muslims to achieve a comprehensive transformation and progress from confrontation with Western civilization to flourishing within the framework of religion in both the religious and worldly realms. This visionary literature indicates the possibility of attaining a modern Islamic civilization in the present era on the path towards the establishment of the anticipated Medina.
