Development and modernization have a history as long as the human <br />history;  however,  the  relevant  theoretical  discussions  and <br />theorizations  formed  mostly  after  world  war  the  second.  Just  the <br />same,  the  relationship  and  association  of  these  issues  with  the <br />religious  instructions,  particularly  the  Shiite  ones,  have  remained <br />ambiguous. Of course, some suggestions have been presented after <br />the Islamic revolution in this regard; however, they are not enough. <br />Therefore, the questionswhich still remain to be answered are whether <br />there  are  any  views  concerning  the  issue  of  the  theoretical <br />development; and how they differ from the western views. It seems <br />that  the  development  model  based  on  the  previous  modernization <br />theories, which believed in the principle of the contrast between the <br />traditionalism and modernism, are based on accumulation of wealth, <br />and the first principle to be considered for them is negligence toward <br />justice. However, the Shiite Islamic approach relies on distribution of <br />the wealth and it emphasizes on the flow of the wealth, growth and <br />development. The present article is the report of a comparative study <br />of two development approaches, i.e. distributional and accumulative. <br />The  distributional  model  is  based  on  the  divine‐Islamic  values; <br />however, the western development model is based on discovering the <br />nature in order to manipulate it, and it is a materialist approach.
