Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to investigate the intellectual system and universal attitude in the formation of modern Islamic civilization from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei based on the sublime education of Imam Khomeini. 
Research Methodology: In this research, an attempt has been made to analyze the content of Ayatollah Khamenei's messages and speeches, and take into account the formation of the new Islamic civilization. 
Findings: The findings of the research indicate that Ayatollah Khamenei's geometry and epistemic intellectual system has three features: "universal attitude", "continuous attitude" and "evolutionary attitude". 
Conclusion: His intellectual system has crystallized in a discussion entitled "The Process of Realizing Islamic Goals", which actually includes the basis of his school of thought around the modern Islamic civilization. Imam Khomeini, based on the wisdom of the Supreme, claims that the desired Islamic civilization is created if the transcendental education in the three dimensions of moral, belief and jurisprudence is created in the individual and then the society. Based on this, it can be said that the characteristic dimensions of modern Islamic civilization from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei (as a follower of Imam Khomeini's school) are realized in the following three dimensions: "rational education" through rationalism and central rationality, production of thought and Then it is with innovation in the field of science. "Ethical education" by rightism and truth seeking, virtueism and modernism is far from petrification, which is the result of Islamic lifestyle. "Jurisprudential education" through the formation of security, the existence of a civilizing university that creates efficient management and ultimately leads to systematization in this direction.
