One of the most important financial sources of the Ghaznavid economy in the early period, from the establishment of slaves led by Alpetikin and Sabuktigin in Ghazni (351 AH) to the end of the reign of Sultan Mahmud (421 AH) was reliance on the system of booty, which was the main support for minting high quality coins. But since the reign of Sultan Massoud (432-421 AH) faced a silver crisis, during which the value of the currency decreased and the number of high-denomination coins also decreased. Hence, the later Ghaznavid sultans turned to other easy-to-reach incomes to cover their current and military expenses. It is assumed that the silver crisis due to the reduction of grade and its lack of equipment for the troops led to the evolution of Ghaznavids' sources of income from the looting system to become more dependent on the revenues of the tax system. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical based on qualitative and quantitative evidence and coinage study. The results show that the decline in conquests in India, the costs of the succession dispute, and the huge costs in unproductive affairs have left the Ghaznavid facing a silver crisis and a devaluation of the currency and as a result, the Ghaznavid sultans resorted to the revenues of the tax system to compensate for the lost financial resources, especially the provision of cash to their troops in the form of remittances and double impositions, which also added to the difficulty of governing them.

The slaves under Alpetikin did not rely on certain financial resources in their group movement independent of the Samanid government. Therefore, from the beginning of moving and settling in Ghazni city (351 AH), they based their required financial resources on the system of booty. However, their target groups were more than non-Muslims in India, which in this sense also gave their plunder religious legitimacy. This process is accompanied by a period of interruption in the period of several of Alpetikin successors; It resumed with the coming to power of Sabuktikin (386-366 AH). And in the time of Sultan Mahmud (388-421 AH) it had become the most important component of their economic resources. The main question is why the economy of Ghaznavids in the early period was driven to rely on the system of booty? The obvious assumptions are that religious motives or so-called jihad in the way of God and the spread of Islam, as well as economic motives and the plunder of India's wealth have been effective in this regard. The present paper uses historical description and analysis method, while validating the above motives, has presented another important factor, namely the change in Ghaznavid land relations as an alternative factor in this field as a result of Amir Sabuktikin reforms in preventing the troops from engaging in agriculture and revoking their land ownership.
