Abstract
<jats:p>This article examines Alisher Navoi’s “Vaqfiya” as a significant source reflecting the socio-economic and spiritual foundations of the Timurid Renaissance. Navoi is presented not only as a prominent poet and thinker but also as a statesman and philanthropist who implemented large-scale public projects. The “Ikhlasiya” complex he established in Herat, consisting of a madrasa, hospital, khanqah, and library, represents an integrated model of social development. “Vaqfiya” is evaluated as more than a legal document; it is a literary text enriched with artistic prose elements that convey the author’s worldview and humanistic ideals. The concept of waqf is interpreted as a comprehensive mechanism for ensuring public welfare, combining education, healthcare, and social support within a unified system. The study also highlights the linguistic and stylistic features of the work, particularly its composition in the Turkic (Chagatai) language, which contributed to the expansion of its scientific and administrative functions. In conclusion, “Vaqfiya” stands as both a historical document and a socio-economic manifesto embodying principles of practical humanism. Its relevance persists in the modern era, offering insights into sustainable social development and public responsibility.</jats:p>
