In fact, it is essential to understand the accurate and scientific perspective of him as a leader of Iran, who possessed a comprehensive understanding of the nature and significance of the events of Karbala and Arbaeen. His approach to this ceremony is not only civilizational but also holds a position that can guide humanity toward a unified nation centered around Imam Hussein (AS). <strong>Methodology: </strong>The method employed in this study is qualitative content analysis. Utilizing this approach, the research investigates Ayatollah Khamenei's statements regarding the role of the political components of the Arbaeen Walk in the realization of Islamic civilization. <strong>Findings: </strong>The findings of this study indicate that, from his perspective, the political components of this ceremony include nation-building, unity, the promotion of justice, resistance to oppression, and Islamic awakening. These elements have accelerated the realization and advancement of Islamic civilization. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results indicate that, from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei, one of the political roles of the Arbaeen Walk in the realization of Islamic civilization is nation-building.                   This ceremony represents the journey between God and the Divine Return. It resonates with the lamentations of those who are weary of the absence of monotheism and have lost their primary path and purpose amid the chaos of modernity. However, by participating in this ceremony, they demonstrate that they have rediscovered their true direction and purpose. In fact, since the beginning of creation, both Muslims and non-Muslims have oriented themselves towards the Kaaba. At various points in history, the Almohads directed their focus towards Jerusalem, at one time towards Baqi', and today towards Najaf and Karbala. Therefore, since the beginning of creation, the movement has been toward God, the Prophet, or the Wali, as the essential focus is the "face of God, which draws those who love truth and seek authenticity. This is the compelling magnetism of Hussain, to which people, regardless of their linguistic, racial, religious, or political affiliations, are drawn together as a single Ummah to achieve a specific goal: The Caliphate of Allah. Another significant role of the Arbaeen Walk in the realization of Islamic civilization is the promotion of unity and solidarity among Muslims. Despite their ethnic, national, racial, and linguistic differences, individuals find common purpose under the banner of Imam Hussein (AS) as pilgrims and servants of the Imam. This unity, rooted in the legacy of Hussein, serves as a foundation for Islamic civilization. Another political aspect of this ceremony is the spread of justice. Attending these ceremonies signifies the establishment of rights and the manifestation of a classless society. This ceremony also serves as a manifestation of resistance and the struggle against global oppression and arrogance. By participating in this event, individuals are rejecting the Yazidi culture of global arrogance. This presence signifies the formation of a new identity for Muslims, who are striving to navigate the realm of a proud world in the best possible way, with a focus on truth and justice, as exemplified by Imam Hussein (AS). The final political aspect of the Arbaeen march in the pursuit of Islamic civilization is the Islamic Awakening. The Arbaeen march represents a transformation in individual lifestyles and, consequently, the awakening of nations as they move toward a righteous path. In fact, it represents a movement toward growth and transcendence, serving as a prelude to the arrival of the Savior.     امروزه قدرت‌های استکباری جهان درصددند که تمدن خویش را به‌عنوان الگوی مطلوب و برتر برای کشورهای جهان ترسیم نمایند، اما برنامه‌های جامع و کامل دین اسلام، سوق‌دهندۀ انسان به‌سوی تمدنی درخشان، کارآمد و پویا بوده و براین‌اساس در سطح جهانی، سدی عظیم در فراگیر شدن تمدن سکولار غربی است. درواقع، جهان استکبار با شیوه‌های متعدد و متفاوت به دنبال خدشه‌دار کردن تعالیم اسلامی و نابودی وحدت مسلمانان است. یکی از این اقدامات، محو کردن یا کم‌رنگ جلوه دادن مراسم پیاده‌روی اربعین است، زیرا این مراسم از این امکان و ظرفیت بهره‌مند است که بسترساز تحقق تمدن اسلامی گردد. آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای در بیانات متعدد از یک‌سو به مؤلفه‌های متفاوت پیاده‌روی اربعین تأکید کرده و ازسوی‌دیگر به ظرفیت تمدن‌سازی این مراسم پرداخته‌اند. بنابراین هدف این پژوهش دستیابی به دیدگاه آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای در خصوص نقش مؤلفه‌های سیاسی پیاده‌روی اربعین در تحقق تمدن اسلامی است. لذا بیانات ایشان از سال 1360ـ1403با روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی بررسی و پنج مقوله استخراج گردید. یافته‌ها نشان داد که از منظر ایشان، مؤلفه‌های سیاسی این مراسم امت‌سازی، وحدت، عدالت‌گستری، مقاومت-ظلم‌ستیزی و بیداری اسلامی است که تحقق و اعتلای تمدن اسلامی را تسریع کرده است.     https://nic.shahed.ac.ir/article_4677_c68981cee1021f7bf70b93e47509ae61.pdf
