Abstract
Islamic unity is a foundational pillar in preserving and strengthening modern Islamic civilization, frequently emphasized by religious scholars and leaders. Today, sectarian divisions are major obstacles to building a unified Islamic Ummah. This study aims to identify and analyze strategies for achieving Islamic unity within the framework of the modern Islamic civilization, as reflected in the thought of the Supreme Leader. Using a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through content analysis of his speeches. The findings reveal that, in his perspective, unity strategies operate on three interrelated dimensions: practical, such as political cooperation among Islamic nations, avoiding sectarianism, and supporting Palestine; structural, including the establishment of joint Islamic institutions, coordinated transnational media, and elite-level cooperation; and discursive, involving the reconstruction of Ummah identity, resistance to hegemonic discourse, and revival of Islamic civilizational thought. These dimensions function not as isolated levels, but as interconnected components of a comprehensive strategy to restore Islamic power and unity in the 21st century.
