The period of Safavid rule is more prominent among the historical periods of Iran in terms of creation of endowments. The formation of this government based on the Shia religion made the tradition of good endowment grow significantly. The endowment of a large part of properties and properties, especially by Shah Abbas I, strengthened the motivation for endowment among the courtiers and women of that era. Despite the restrictions and social problems, women played a significant role as active activists in charity and endowment affairs. 

This article has analyzed the qualitative content of the goals of women waqifs in the city of Isfahan in the Safavid era.

Method and Research Design:

The results showed that the main purpose of endowment is economic; In fact, paying attention to the afterlife and even paying attention to the needs of the society is an insignificant contribution to the effort of knowledgeable women to protect their property from the evil of possession and division of their property; Therefore, the majority of the content of waqf names indicates planning and organization for the protection of waqf properties and assets in their generation and relatives. Also, the knowledgeable women of this era, although they established their subordinate role by participating in public benefit and charity activities, they did not give a share of activism and social presence to the women after them, and they gave the right to inherit endowments with the priority of male children in their generation.

One of the important points in historiography is the issue of belief or disbelief of the historian in Astrology. Abu Ḥanifa Dinawari is one of the Iranian Muslim historians and astronomers of the third century AH and the author of the valuable book ‘Al-Akhbar al-Tiwal’. This research seeks to find the answer to the question of what is the manifestation of Abu Hanifa Dinawari’s belief in the rules of astronomy and in what fields can its manifestation be seen in his historiography? Based on the findings of this study, it seems that Dinawari’s view on the predictions of astronomers has fluctuations and in general, few cases of predictions have been mentioned in historical events. In the same few cases of his work, which dealt with the prophecies of great men and astronomers and considered it important, he did not ignore the prophecies of the common people and sometimes mentioned these reports in his book. It is also believed that if in some cases, the predictions of astronomers have not been made, the misinterpretation of their words is the main reason for the failure of these predictions. As an astronomer, Dinawari wrote important astronomical works, that this has been effective in his commitment to Astrology. The issues raised in the rules of astronomy are explained in more detail in the book ‘Al-Akhbar al-Tiwal’ than similar events.
