Sultan, Waqf and Charity

Abstract

Though beneficial activities are witnessed in every region of the Islamic societies, it is obvious that those done by the sultans, the members of the ruling house and the administrative class, especially in terms of the significance of the afore-mentioned activities, have wider scope than the others. That those kinds of activities, when considered only the dimension of waqfs, have been realized with more than thirty-five thousand institutions has proved how much this type of understanding spread around the people. Those organizing the act of charity systematically have to be known as well as the causes that drive people in the Ottoman society to compete with other to be able to do favour for the others. In this study I have tried to put forward how those activities done for the good of the society are to be evaluated and what the fundamental uses of them are. In other words I have discussed the hopes of the beneficent for their goodness and the rewards they got. Shortly, I have argued out the basic causes of philanthropic activities and aims of the sultans, members of the dynasty and the military class.
