Despite their shared Islamic foundations, the madrasah institutions of the Safavid and Ottoman states followed distinct trajectories of development within two different frameworks governing the relationship between religion and political authority. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach, this study examines the madrasah institution through four dimensions: financial organization, administrative structure, scholarly hierarchy, and governmental function. The findings indicate that, notwithstanding their common educational tradition, madrasahs in the two states evolved into two distinct institutional models. Ottoman madrasahs were organized within a centralized and hierarchical framework under governmental supervision and served as the principal mechanism for supplying the human resources required by the vast imperial bureaucracy. In contrast, Safavid madrasahs were characterized by a decentralized and network-based structure founded upon private endowments (waqf) and teacher–student relationships, thereby preserving a considerable degree of institutional autonomy from direct state control. This structural divergence reflects two different conceptions of the relationship between religion and the state in premodern Islamic civilization.
