The good tradition of devotion (waqf) is one of the evident examples of beneficence and benevolence that man, under the influence of the teachings of the prophets, has established for a long time and has always responded to a large part of the needs of his society by creating public buildings and determining endowments for them. In other words, endowments, with different functions, have played a significant role in various eras and could be largely effective in the establishment and maintenance of cultural, economic and public institutions. This study is to shed light on devotion in Kerman in the fifth century AH, during the Seljuk period. To this aim, after fiving an introduction on how the Seljuk government was formed in Kerman, devotion in this period will be investigated and the Seljuk rulers’ role and efforts in promoting endowments will be identified. The findings suggest that during the Seljuk rule in Kerman, the tradition of devotion had a remarkable expansion, as a consequence of which public affairs and the provision of welfare services came into the attention of rulers and benefactors. The research method was historical with a descriptive-analytical approach and based on library studies.
