Requirements for Realizing the New Islamic Civilization in the Domain of Cognitive Orientations: The Supreme Leader’s Perspective in the “Second Step of the Revolution” Statement

The "New Islamic Civilization" (NIC), envisioned as the Islamic Republic of Iran's transformative horizon and a rational response to Western civilization's decline, demands redefined indicators and realization patterns. The realm of attitudes is foundational, as shifts in individual and collective perspectives are preconditions for changing civilizational institutions, behaviors, and structures. Given Ayatollah Khamenei's repeated emphasis on the NIC, identifying and systematizing attitudinal requirements for cultural and educational endeavors is crucial. This aims to guide public discourse and macro-level policymaking toward the NIC's realization.The central research question is whether the NIC can be achieved solely through institutional and technical mechanisms, or if changing individual and collective attitudes is a prerequisite. This descriptive-analytical study, based on the "Second Phase of the Revolution" statement, clarifies the attitudinal requirements for realizing the NIC. Research findings indicate these requirements include an outlook toward Islam's future, individual responsibility, community building, and an emphasis on ethics and spirituality, all aligned with the Supreme Leader's perspective.These identified attitudinal requirements provide an essential framework for progressing toward the NIC. Achieving this necessitates designing targeted educational and training programs, re-creating media discourse, and ensuring coherent coordination among cultural policymakers. Such efforts will effectively facilitate the path toward building the New Islamic Civilization.
