Based on Allameh Jafari's explanation and definition of the concept of civilization, this research aims to recognize the foundations and components of civilization in the view of Khwaja Nasiruddin Tousi and Shahid Motahari as two prominent Shia theologians with contemporary similarities. Scholarly rethinking of the social foundations of Shia thought can represent the true spirit of this religion in an original way. Allameh Jafari considers civilization to be the formation of human beings with excellent relationships and the participation of all individuals and groups in the society in advancing its material and spiritual goals in all possible dimensions. Based on this, there are three moral bases (with the components of excellent relationships and sharing of all people), political (with the components of human organization and advancing goals) and social (in the form of material and spiritual goals) for civilization. Achieving social solidarity is possible as a result of the development of moral virtues and the establishment of social justice with the existence of divine rulers and religious laws. Solidarity and social justice lead people in the society to advance material and spiritual goals. Such a process is the builder of a sublime civilization. The present article examines this issue with a rational-analytical method and a social approach using library resources.
