Ideology is a crucial component in civilization-building, as it constitutes a fundamental pillar of its emergence and continuity. This study has been developed with the aim of examining the relationship between ideology and civilization-building, with specific attention to the variable of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist). In other words, it seeks to analyze the role of Velayat-e Faqih within a civilization-building ideology in order to determine how the jurist-ruler contributes to the formation, stability, and dynamism of an ideology directed toward civilizational development. Accordingly, by conducting a case analysis of the Islamic Revolution under the leadership of the Vali-ye Faqih, this issue is investigated. The analysis of data from the experience of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran indicates that the Vali-ye Faqih plays a formative, stabilizing, and mobilizing role in the ideological component, which in turn can provide the foundation for the emergence of a new Islamic civilization.
