The structure of the Razavi’s (AS) Holy Shrine expanded during the Safavid era, partly because of the king’s religious policy of supporting the Shiite sect's holy sites. Among these, the activities of Shah Abbas I are outstanding. With his pilgrimage trips to Mashhad and his interest in the prosperity and development of this Holy Shrine, he issued specific decrees regarding the management of this Shrine.The structure of the above-mentioned decrees in terms of content and documentation is assessed in this article.Among them, eight outstanding decrees, and some others recorded in the justification books are analyzed. The oldest one dates back to the year 1007 AH. All decrees are of Parvancheh type, and the titles related to Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (A.S.) are written in the right margin of the documents.A review of the decrees indicates that Shah Abbas I supported Astan Quds Razavi financially through the transfer of Sivorghal or the allocation of income from the Mashhad mint to the Holy Shrine. Two decrees indicate the direct supervision of the king over the income of Astan Quds in the absence of the trustee, and the other decrees are orders related to the payments made to individuals.
