Abstract:

 

The 11th (A.H.4th) century when the Seljukites emerged in the  historical scene was an era of sectarian conflict in the region where  they began to expand. This led the Seljukites to adapt a regional policy  such as supporting the majority Sunnis against the spreading and  extreme Shia-Esoteric trends supported by the Fatimîds. They were,  however, careful not to create any disturbance among other religious  communities and sects. Through this policy, the Seljuki state managed  to rely not only on the Sunni majority support in their region but also  receive the support of the Sunnis living under the Esoteric Fatimids,  therefore weakening their power. The overall justice and tolerance in  applying this policy of balance brought to the Seljukites the sympathy of  not only the Sunnis but other moderate religious communities and  schools. The Nizamiyyah madrasas founded by Nizam al-Mulk with the  support of Alparslan and Malikshah had a crucial place in providing  cultural and scholarly ground for the ‘sunnification’ policy of the  Seljukites.
