Abstract
Public health and sanitation were critical indicators of civilizational advancement in Islamic societies, particularly during the Seljuk period in Anatolia (483–707 AH / 1077–1308 CE). This study examines the role of the waqf (charitable endowment) system in establishing and sustaining Dar al-shifas (hospitals) and Dar al-ajazas (care homes for the elderly and disabled) through an analysis of waqf deeds. The findings highlight how revenue from endowed properties supported the construction, operation, and management of these institutions, ensuring their functionality amidst the political, military, and cultural dynamics of the Seljuk Rome period.
