Waqf is one of the old institutions of Iranian society which has been linked with the religious beliefs of Iranians and, on the other hand, has influenced the ups and downs of the events and developments of Iran. The present study intends to investigate and analyze the contents of the records of the Gonabad endowments and its functions during the period from 1285 to 1435 AH, which cases and in what areas have been made in Gonabad? The contents of the documents in the Gonabad Endowment Administration indicate that most of Gonabad's endowments and its functions were carried out between 1285 and 1325 AH, and the waqf's institution has declined in the last fifty years. Most of the endowments of this area include the endowment of water and land for the mourning of Sayyed al-Shohada and Muharram. Also, Waqf has been considered for Imam Reza, the construction of mosques and other public buildings. This research is descriptive-analytical and based on the contents of the documents of the endowments in the Gonabad Endowment Office, as well as the contents of some books.
