The doctrine of the Imamate is one of the most important privileges of the Shi'a in the Islamic worldview. The abundant capacities of this doctrine can be examined indifferent approaches. The civilizational approach to the doctrine of the Imamate is known as the approach that no independent study has been done on it. This approach is important as it includes different fields. The present study, "Civilizational Capacity of the Imamate Doctrine", was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method using library resources to identify the civilizational capacities of Imamate doctrine. Accordingly, first the privileges of the Imamate doctrine have been referred; then, the civilizational capacities of the Imamate doctrine have been specifically examined. The results show that the Imamate doctrine qualifies the following capacities in order to lead the community toward prosperity in this world and the hereafter: The common capacities include foundation of Ummah (the unified, safe, and expansive ummah), scientific progress (in all fields of prosperity), and justice-oriented (in political, cultural, social and economic fields). The specific field also includes Imam's innocent management and responsible participation of the Ummah as the political field, social cohesion and production of social capital as the cultural-social field, and efficient production, fair distribution, and proper consumption as the economic field.
