Abstract
One of the important functions of waqf in the society is the development of public health and community health. Because maintaining cleanliness and public health is one of the important issues in the life and social relations of every people and nation, which is rooted in people's ancient culture and beliefs. The expansion of endowments in the Safavid period and the attention of the courtiers, especially the eunuchs, to the endowment and allocation of various endowments in the context of the health status of the society is emphasized by the sources of this period. Because one of the actions of Khwaja Sarayan in this period was the establishment of health facilities including bathrooms to expand public health and community health. Based on this, the present research, using a descriptiveanalytical method, tries to investigate the role of endowments of Khwaja Sarayan in public health and the health of Sufi era society. The results of the research indicate that many factors had an impact on the health of the society during the Safavid era. One of them was the expansion of the bathhouse and allocation of endowments for their management and maintenance by Khwaja Sarayan. During this period, due to their huge income and wealth, the eunuchs allocated a part of their income in the form of endowments for the development of public health and community health in the form of establishing public baths and had an important impact on the state of urban health.
