The result of this authority and security was the flourishing of economic and social life in the beyond. By using the power of elites, the Samanid amirs created a unique period in the history of the Islamic era of the region, in terms of paying attention to the traditions of Iranian statecraft. The security and law and order that arose in the light of political tolerance and cultural policy of the Samanid in the region, brought about the harmony of the peasants and local rulers with the Samanid court, and this was important in the prosperity of industry and trade. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach and with the aim of investigating the effect of the political security of the Samanid era on the commercial prosperity of the Mesopotamia region, seeks to answer the question, what effect did the security and order governing the Mesopotamia region have on the economic prosperity of the region during the Samanid period? The findings of the research indicate that parallel to the authority of the Samanids and their ability to establish security and maintain order, an efficient bureaucracy, the use of the power of the elites, and the use of internal capabilities in political and commercial relations, social and economic life from prosperity were acceptable.
