The primary aim of this study was to explore and qualitatively analyze the perceptions of cultural and educational elites at Farhangian University regarding the concept of Bi‘that (Prophetic Mission) within the complex context of the 40-day Ramadan War. The study employed thematic analysis as its research methodology. The potential participants consisted of faculty members from three branches of Farhangian University in Fars, Bushehr, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces. Using purposive and snowball sampling strategies, 27 participants (16 men and 11 women) were selected based on the criterion of theoretical saturation. The findings led to the identification of twelve overarching themes. Part of the findings indicated that educational elites perceived Bi‘that in times of crisis not merely as an abstract theological concept, but rather as a cognitive and civilizational system. Furthermore, the social dimension of this concept was reflected in national cohesion as a civilizational shield, whereby ethnic diversity was regarded not as a threat, but as an opportunity for unity within the context of collective rituals. The twelve-dimensional model demonstrates that educational Bi‘that is a phenomenon rooted in theology and philosophy; manifested in cognitive warfare and civilizational identity; institutionalized through educational institutions; producing tangible outcomes in the economic and political spheres; reproduced through collective rituals; safeguarded against distortion through the Jihad of Clarification; and ultimately protected by national cohesion, which functions as a civilizational shield preserving all these achievements.
