The idea of designing Islamic-Iranian pattern of advancement has preoccupied the academic gatherings and think-tanks for a while. In this paper, in addition to reviewing the common patterns of development management, it is aimed to explain the potentiality of Sadrai Hikma and Substantial Motion theory to provide the needed theoretical background (even in its metaphorical sense) in order to design the Islamic-Iranian pattern of development. Then, on basis of advantageous separation of Sadrai Hikma between substance and margin and with borrowing foundations, knowledge and to some extent technology (specially, the hidden associative knowledge in technology) from the side stream of the Economy as the essence of the societies, it was tried to attain a useful insight about the path of the development of knowledge in the country in the recent centuries. Finally, it was indicated that the criterion of the balanced progress and in expression; “evolution”, would be parallel growth of substance and margin and other kinds of growth necessitates the unbalanced growth (an not evolution) based on the western patterns.
