چکیده
SUBJECT & OBJECTIVES: Grand Ayatollah Martyr Sayyed Ali Khamenei has consistently emphasized the strategic importance of population growth for national power. In the Second Step Statement of the Revolution, he explicitly stated that one of the most important foundations of national power is the youth and vitality of the population. The objective of this research is to examine this premise through scientific and Islamic lenses, illustrating how population expansion rooted in Islamic living standards facilitates national strength and the emergence of a New Islamic Civilization.
METHOD & FINDING: Using directed content analysis, this qualitative research employs documentary and library sources, including the Holy Quran, Hadiths, and statements by the former Supreme Leader of Iran. Islamic lifestyle, with core components such as timely marriage, ease of marriage, childbearing as a divine blessing, family-centeredness, raising righteous children, contentment, and trust in God, directly contributes to population growth and age-structure rejuvenation. In this respect, four causal mechanisms are identified: economic, innovation, security, and civilizational.
CONCLUSION: Population growth policies aligned with Islamic lifestyle principles can serve demographic, religious, and strategic objectives simultaneously, providing a comprehensive framework for national power and civilizational progress.
