This article examines the importance of civilization studies for civilization-building from two perspectives. First, it offers a theoretical perspective on the position and importance of civilization studies, the adoption of a civilizational approach, and civilizational foresight; second, it provides a brief discussion of the relationship between Islamic teachings and the issues of civilization and civilization-building. Accordingly, based on documentary study and data collection, followed by description and analysis, and with emphasis on the theory of civilizational encounter (Challenge-and-Response), the main findings of theoretical studies of civilization are as follows: civilization studies and civilization-building for continuous sociocultural growth and flourishing and for avoiding falling behind the advancing course of civilization; civilization studies and civilization-building as a moral and transgenerational mission aimed at creating a desirable situation for future generations; civilization studies and civilization-building for historical self-awareness and overcoming the problems and challenges arising from the civilizational encounter with Western civilization; and civilization studies and civilization-building for attaining a civilizational vision and horizon for action and laying its foundations in accordance with the cultural ecosystem. Other components also indicate the relationship between Islamic doctrines and teachings and civilization-building. These include general teachings concerning the development and prosperity of the earth; the presentation in the Holy Qur’an of major civilizational examples of the forces of truth and falsehood; the depiction of the forces opposed to revelation and the prophets as a complex social order possessing civilizational characteristics; the indication in certain theological propositions of the importance of civilization-building as preparation for the formation of an authentic divine civilization, regarded as the ultimate historical ideal of the prophetic tradition; the issue of divine religions and civilizational unity centered on the concept of monotheism; and, finally, civilization-building as a framework for the realization of the civilizational concepts, doctrines, and teachings of Islam.
