Waqf (endowment) is regarded as one of the most important benevolent traditions in religious teachings and as a key mechanism for social welfare and support of the underprivileged classes in Islamic society. The study of the waqf phenomenon, its functions, reasons for longevity, and its numerous effects has always attracted the attention of religious scholars and researchers in Islamic and social sciences.
The “Sarkar-e Feyz-Asar” waqf represents a specific type of endowment, particularly prominent in the Safavid era. It emerged in line with the expansion of waqf culture according to the requirements of Muslim social life, especially with regard to endowments dedicated to sacred sites, and has left significant impacts.
The main question of this research is how this type of waqf was formed, what factors led to its prominence and longevity, and what its various effects were. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method based on the examination of historical documents.
The findings indicate that “Sarkar-e Feyz-Asar” played important and diverse roles across various historical periods in political, social, cultural, and economic spheres. The reasons for its historical longevity include:
Political factors: The role of rulers and governors, the status of the clergy, and the influence of prominent women.
Social factors: Preserving the name and family reputation of the founders, building hospitals, cooperation, and supporting disadvantaged social classes.
Cultural factors: Reviving votive offerings, creating “Molk-Allah” (property of God), promoting knowledge and scientific heritage, and the devotional nature of the waqf.
Economic factors: Performing charitable financial acts, establishing interest-free loan funds (Qarz al-Hasaneh), and the restoration and equipping of sacred sites (including the construction of shrines for Imams’ descendants, religious schools, and assistance to the shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt).
