The vitality of Islamic civilization in the fourth century AH was significantly shaped by the active engagement of political and intellectual elites within governmental structures. The Buyid dynasty, characterized by a cohesive bureaucratic system, provided a critical platform for the role of elites in the process of civilization-building. Focusing on Buyid viziers and utilizing Elite Theory and Historical Institutionalism, this study investigates the role of Shiʿi elites in the formation of civilizational institutions and the socio-political developments of the Islamic world. The research addresses two core questions: (1) How is the status and position of Buyid viziers as Shiʿi elites conceptualized within the power structure? and (2) What impact did the political and administrative actions of these viziers have on the trajectory of Islamic civilization? The innovation of this study lies in analyzing the link between elite political action and the formation of civilizational institutions within the historical context of the Buyids. Methodologically, the study employs a historical approach with descriptive-analytical tools, drawing on classical Islamic sources and modern scholarship. The findings indicate that elites, particularly within the institution of the vizierate, played a decisive role in policy-making, urban development, support for sciences, and cultural guidance. Their participation was instrumental in strengthening the foundations of Islamic civilization from cognitive, value-based, and civil institutional perspectives. The results demonstrate that the vizierate in the Buyid state functioned not merely as an administrative body, but as the primary platform for the interaction between Shiʿi elites and political power. In this framework, the vizierate acted as a vital intermediary between the emirate and the elites, facilitating institutional formation and the expansion of Shiʿi culture.
