- 요약Gateways of Paradise: Mongol Foundations of Charity and the Making of Muslim Sacred Kingship studies how Rashid al-Din Fazl Allah (d.1318 CE), the vizier, chief administrator, and impresario of Ilkhanid sovereignty, used the ideal of Islamic charity to craft a new Muslim empire for the Ilkhans (1256-1335 CE) through constructing multi-institutional endowed charitable complexes (the abwab al-birr). In this dissertation, I study the voluminous writings of Rashid al-Din alongside his monumental building projects in Tabriz to better understand the development of the Mongol empire in fourteenth-century Iran. The processes through which Rashid al-Din interpreted charity were intimately tied to his fashioning of the newly converted khans as Muslim sacred kings. Himself a convert from Judaism to Islam, conversion was both the impetus for and the deterrent to making a place for his Ilkhanid patrons to rule in a foreign land. Gateways of Paradise explores the processes through which the religious act of conversion was deployed as a generative act, linking charity and piety to a new mode of Muslim rule.Designing a new urban order in Tabriz required rethinking traditional charitable endowments to create a center of trade, piety, and politics around the mausoleum of Ghazan Khan (r.1295-1304 CE): the abwab al-birr of Ghazaniyya. Gateways of Paradise reconstructs the long neglected endowed charitable city of Ghazaniyya (established in 1297 CE) by reading the summary of its deed alongside the extant endowment deed of Rabʿ-i Rashidi (established c1309 CE), using the latter to shed light on the power of design that enshrined the body of Ghazan within a new spatial order. It explores the establishment of a mosque, library, hospital, Sufi lodge, observatory, two seminaries, and other institutions as an attempt to create a ritual space centered on the mausoleum of the Muslim Mongol khan and padishah-i Islam, Ghazan. Situating Ghazan's conversion as the dawn of a new age of Perso-Islamic kingship, Rashid al-Din sets the stage for the complex of Ghazaniyya to represent paradise on earth. The construction of these two complexes, the first of their kind and no longer extant, altered the topography of the medieval imperial capital of Tabriz, reorganizing its social and economic landscape and creating centers of trade, politics, and religious congregation.Gateways of Paradise explores the two endowments and their theoretical underpinnings through a close analysis of Rashid al-Din's writings: his historical work, his theological work, and the voluminous endowment deed of Rabʿ-i Rashidi. It draws on contemporaneous chronicles, literary writings, and other endowment deeds to enhance and contextualize its analysis of the complexes whereby the act of performing charity became central to the claim that the khans had been chosen by God to enact Muslim kingship. Building on previous scholarship, I study the textual and the material together to move beyond the discursive realm. In this process, I demonstrate how these two endowed complexes brought water, food, knowledge, wealth, and welfare that had a profound effect on the lived experiences of Ilkhanid subjects, thus contributing to the Ilkhans' sacred aura. Gateways of Paradise posits that the longevity of the conception of Muslim sacred sovereignty in the Islamic world was precisely due to the economic and social transformations engendered by these endowed complexes. The success of this new design was adopted by subsequent sulṭans and shahs who would come to appropriate Mongol ideals of kingship.
