Jamilah Khanum's endowment, 1908
Jamilah Khanum, the daughter of Husaynquli Khan, has endowed a school and a mosque she had built to the south of her own house and has appointed Qamar Taj Khanum, the daughter of Riza Quli Khan Fakhim al-Dawlah as the custodian. Qamar Taj Khanum will be responsible for assigning the prayer Imam and hiring the tutors, servants, and students, whose salaries, along with the other costs of the school and the mosque, will be derived from the revenue of some properties in the village of Suharin in Zanjan Rud district. Jamilah Khanum has also designated the custodianship honorarium for Qamar Taj Khanum and given some instructions for the expenses of religious ceremonies in ‘Ashura and Ramadan and the cost of serving tea, coffee, and hookah. The custodian has to collect the annual surplus and use it to purchase more properties, so that their revenue could be used for the expenses of the endowed school and mosque. The custodian will be succeeded by her male offspring, or by female offspring in the absence of any male descendants.
