With the beginning of modernism and its spread among Iranian society during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many institutions of Iranian society changed. These institutions, which have historically been formed with the participation of the institution of tradition and religion, have been threatened by modern concepts. This threat, in many cases, led to a confrontation between tradition and modernism.

Method and Research Design: 

One of the most influential institutions of the Iranian society was the institution of health, which was formed based on a combination of temperament medicine, folk medicine and with a religious color and smell, throughout history. After the arrival of modernism in Iran, this powerful social institution was severely exposed to the effects of new scientific insights and many of its beliefs were questioned.This research, relying on one of the concepts of medical sociology under the title of "medicalization", has analyzed this confrontation.

 It has also examined the impact of medicalization on religion in Iran. The results of this research show that, for several decades, the cultural atmosphere of the society was influenced by health concepts. In the process of medicalization, the institution of religion handed over many areas of social influence to the institution of medicine.

The period of Safavid rule is more prominent among the historical periods of Iran in terms of creation of endowments. The formation of this government based on the Shia religion made the tradition of good endowment grow significantly. The endowment of a large part of properties and properties, especially by Shah Abbas I, strengthened the motivation for endowment among the courtiers and women of that era. Despite the restrictions and social problems, women played a significant role as active activists in charity and endowment affairs.

Method and Research Design: 

In the process of data analysis, there are 8 themes: "legalization of politics", "permanence in property", "futuristic view of property division", "property protection organization", "display of Shiism", "backward thinking", "transcendent action in meeting the needs of others", It was represented to the structure of society.

The results showed that the main purpose of endowment is economic; In fact, paying attention to the afterlife and even paying attention to the needs of the society is an insignificant contribution to the effort of knowledgeable women to protect their property from the evil of possession and division of their property; Therefore, the majority of the content of waqf names indicates planning and organization for the protection of waqf properties and assets in their generation and relatives. Also, the knowledgeable women of this era, although they established their subordinate role by participating in public benefit and charity activities, they did not give a share of activism and social presence to the women after them, and they gave the right to inherit endowments with the priority of male children in their generation.
