During the Timurid era, the city of Herat emerged as the cultural hub of the eastern Islamic world, particularly of Khorasan. Numerous libraries and scholarly–cultural centers were established, and sacred shrines and religious sites were likewise restored and developed. This study seeks to explain and analyze the status and cultural functions of Herat’s shrines with an emphasis on the Timurid period. The present study was conducted using library data collection and a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings of the research is that, owing to their sanctity among the populace, the sacred shrines and religious places of Herat enjoyed significant cultural roles. In this period, in addition to serving as venues for worship, pilgrimage, and supplication, the shrines functioned as scholarly and cultural centers. Many religious scholars held classes in these sites, teaching subjects such as mysticism and Sufism, jurisprudence and legal theory, Qur’anic and Hadith sciences, theology, and rational sciences. Both Shiʿi and Sunni scholars engaged in teaching and learning side by side, while renowned preachers and orators delivered admonitions, sermons, and speeches, from which the people benefited.
