The growth of  sukuk market in recent years, mainly due to its role in monitoring and controlling the liquidity and the liquidity management at the macro and micro (firm) levels is one of the factors that can lead to the development of Islamic financial markets. Considering the importance of sukuk issuance as well as its role in liquidity management and financing investments, this paper try to estimate the potential capacity of Sukuk issuance in Iran and to forecast its issuance capability in the coming years at the country. However, at first by applying the panel data and time series 2000-2009, the suitable model for sukuk has been designed and then, the capacity of Sukuk issuance in Iran would be predicted by using vector regression method and time series 1973-2009.
