Abstract

Guilds of distribution of commodity and services play an important and meaningful
role during the periods of Iran’s economic activities. So, the appropriate
development of this system is necessary. The Islamic economic system besides
having enough efficiency has supreme teachings and goals. The development of
guilds system in order to reach an Islamic guild system is a phenomenon which
according to the Islamic civilization is of great necessity. However, with the
development of guilds and the various changes in the economic and non-economic
sectors, many Islamic teaching and values in trading and commerce are fading away.
So, the review of guilds system in policy making and implementing the policies is
necessary. For reaching a developed guild system from an Islamic point of view the
following factors should be put under consideration: 1. implementing the Islamic
jurisprudential and moral Islamic teachings in the guilds system 2. Correction of
policy-makings and plans 3. Correction of the supervision strategies and 4.
