Today, human individual and social identity depend on the civilization domain to which it belongs. The stronger and more prosperous this domain of civilization is the more individuals and societies belonging to that civilization fill valuable. Therefore, in order to value the individual and social identity of the Islamic society, one should seek to build a civilization based on divine law. One of the scientific goals of choosing this subject is to "show the role of divine law in the reliability of Islamic civilization." Numerous factors are involved in the reliability of Islamic civilization, including the existence of a prominent law that can play an important role in the reliability of any civilization. Basically, the existence of civilization and the stability of civilization in the light of fine and compelling laws is a necessary matter to cultivate civilizational behaviors and then for the reliability of civilization. Through a descriptive-analytical method, the present article seeks to answer the question of what is the role of divine law in the reliability of Islamic civilization from the point of view of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli? The divine law has been presented to mankind through revelation in the form of prophecy, and its final objective appearance is manifested in the Holy Qur'an and the city of the Prophet, Madinat al-Nabi. The law and the law enforcer must be accompanied by ethics in order to have legal sanctions.
