It is known that in
the Ottoman State many services were rendered by the foundations and these
foundations were established particularly by the leading administrators of the
state. The Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha has spent a great portion of his
wealth for the charitable institutions he founded on various locations of the
Ottoman land. Having a look through the vakfiyes he had prepared for his foundations, each of which are books
approximately a hundred pages long, it can be seen that Sinan Pasha has founded
charitable institutions in cities like Damascus, Cairo, Yenişehir, Malkara,
Istanbul and Kaçanik, and donated a great deal of movable and immovable wealth
for these foundations. Sinan Pasha who in these cities established religious
institutions like Mosques, dervish lodges, and prayer houses, educational
institutions like schools and madrasas, and social charitable institutions like
ribats, imarets, inns, baths and fountains explained in his vakfiyes how
these foundations were to work an whom and how to benefit from them. Especially
from his vakfiye for the imaret it is possible to get the specifics for the
services rendered and conditions for benefiting from them.
