Abstract

The realization of the modern Islamic civilization as the most ideal goal of the Islamic system has forced the researchers of civilization to play a part by planning and expanding the research about this process by using the information they have. On this basis, it is necessary to direct civilizational studies in the direction that has the most results. The role of "elite society" in the future of Islamic civilization as one of the most important accelerators in the process of civilizational developments and movements is not as clear as it should be, and it has been neglected to some extent, and no extensive research was found in this field despite the author's searches. On the other hand, we know very well that the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, as one of those who are concerned about the future of Islamic civilization, has made various elites the focus of his narrow-minded statements in many occasions and has raised some issues as elites' needs. Therefore, while emphasizing the typology of elites and their ranking, this article tries to answer this main question with the method of content analysis: based on the statements of the supreme leader of the revolution, what requirements does the elite society face on the way to the realization of the new Islamic civilization? The case studies show nine elements that the elite society must align with in order to achieve the aforementioned goal. Meanwhile, the role of "political elites" is more prominent than other types of elites.
