The formulation of strategies for ACHIEVING distributive justice according to Islamic approach requires attending to the normative system accepted by Islam. Using an analytical method, this paper examines the normative system of Islam and its effect on determining the position of distributive justice which is based on a Qur'anic approach. According to the paper's supposition, the Islamic approach to distributive justice is influenced by an Islamic normative system based on three approaches: deontological, virtue and teleological. According to the research findings, the normative system of Islam has three systems in the evolutionary process: deontological, virtue and teleological. In all these normative systems, special attention is paid to the alleviation of poverty and reduction of inequalities in providing income. In this Islamic normative system, a pedagogical and progressive approach to administering distributive justice in society is introduced. Fiqh, which is based on a deontological normative system considers that, along with the other acts of worship, financial obligations such as zakat are among the duties. Furthermore, in a higher rank, Islamic morality which is based on the virtue oriented normative system, draws attention to the importance of donating charity in Allah’s cause and attending to it in refining the existential dimensions and achieving "bir" (righteousness). Considering Islamic dogmatic theology, according to teleological system, forgiveness is, referred to as the most important behavioral characteristic of "Abrar (the righteous).
