Abstract

Recognizing the importance of contributions in the Qur'an, hadiths and the role of Hazrat-e Khadijah (PBUH) on the eve of the advent of Islam is one of the imperative issues in recognizing the subject of aid in Islamic society since it has been considered as one of the positive approaches in the economic society in the Islamic world and has been reflected in the performance of governments and individuals in diverse periods of history. This research is accomplished via a library method in an analytical-descriptive framework. Khadijeh (PBUH) deposited all her wealth in the path of Islamic growth without relying on others and deposited the art of charity and self-sacrifice among the women builders of the Safavid era. The findings of the research indicate that Hazrat Khadijeh (PBUH) with her material and spiritual support of Muhammad (PBUH) played an important role in the establishment and advancement of Islam. For this reason, she is acknowledged as one of the most generous people of her time. She dedicated her house and properties to the poor and needy, and in the same path, a number of Safavid women by following her steps donated valuable buildings for the public good. Khadijah (PBUH) as the first Muslim woman gave all her vast and beautiful buildings along with her wealth for God and by this act, she preached the act of giving and benevolence to women of all ages and her generosity lasted throughout history. In this research, the generosity of Hazrat-e Khadija and its impact on women constructers of the Safavid period is studied.

1. Recognizing the issue of charity in the generous acts of Hazrat-e Khadijeh (PBUH).
2. Investigating the issue of almsgiving in the performance of Safavid women in building makings.

Research questions:
