The Islamic Revolution of Iran of 1978–1979 is one of the most influential events in the history of contemporary Islamic politics and civilization. This revolution not only marked the collapse of the Pahlavi monarchy, but also gave birth to an Islamic system of government that made religion the ideological foundation of the state. This article aims to analyze the Iranian Islamic Revolution from the perspective of the History of Islamic Civilization by emphasizing the socio-political and religious conditions leading up to the revolution, the factors that caused the revolution, the role of clerics in mass mobilization, and its impact on the global Islamic movement and the geopolitical dynamics of the Islamic world. This study uses a qualitative approach with the library research method, by analyzing primary and secondary sources in the form of books, journal articles, and relevant scientific publications. The results of the study show that the Iranian Islamic Revolution is a manifestation of the rise of modern Islam that reaffirms the role of religion as a socio-political force and civilization. This revolution also provided a broad inspiration for Islamic movements in various countries and reshaped the relationship between Islam, the state, and power in the context of the contemporary Muslim world.
