The essential needs of societies are provided through natural social organizations, called institutions. For instance, to create order and security and management of society, the institution of politics is formed. Every culture and civilization has its own style of management and discipline. Hence, every civilization has a political institution with its own structure. Modern civilization was formed and developed by abandoning the unseen reality and relying on the apparent reality (secularism) and trust in man (humanism). Its social institutions, including politics, were based on this. With the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and the emergence of Islam in a civilized perspective, it seems that new structures were given to social institutions, especially politics. The present article tries to estimate the structure of politics in the new Islamic civilization in a comparative study using the method of reviewing texts and discussing and consulting experts. The findings of this study show that the form of politics in these two types of civilizations are fundamentally different from each other; however, both may adhere to democracy. Modern civilization, based on humanism and attention to the profit and benefit of human beings, allows any kind of action, but Islamic civilization relies on divine lordship and tries to replace the system in politics with the importance of the link between the unseen and the visible. Divine to be present and current in different social levels.
