چکیده:
The royal institution in ancient Iran involved implications such as race, splendor,
and personality. Ahura Mazda brokerage, construction and development, border
protection, justice, and religiosity were the functions of royal institution and
developed according to the requirements of the time. However, with the arrival of
Islam, the royal institution was initially rejected and discouraged; but after a
while, it prevailed on the Arab tribal teachings and became the supreme prototype
of governance pattern. Investigation of Iranian rulers after Islam and even during
Arab caliphs on whether or not the requirements of the royal institution were
responsible for its functions (referred to the duties of caliph or Islamic rulers)
indicates the importance of these elements in that period. In some texts of the
Islamic period including the letter of Tahir to his son Abdullah, we can find the
reflection of the aforementioned royal functions; but due to a change in some of
the requirements and functions, the book Siyâsat-Nàma of Nizam al-Mulk is the
first text of the Islamic period that has focused on them fully and
comprehensively. With emphasis on the central role of the king and the royal
institution functions, Nizam al-Mulk tried to change the Seljuk tribal government
into the one with Iranian governance pattern. Taking into account an analytical
approach, this paper tries to investigate the functions and requirements of the
royal institution that is the center of Iranian governance pattern in Siyâsat-Nàma
and effort of Nizam al-Mulk for changing Seljuk tribe's attitude.

With emphasis on the central role of the king and the royal institution functions, Nizam al-Mulk tried to change the Seljuk tribal government into the one with Iranian governance pattern.
Taking into account an analytical approach, this paper tries to investigate the functions and requirements of the royal institution that is the center of Iranian governance pattern in Siyâsat-Nàma and effort of Nizam al-Mulk for changing Seljuk tribe's attitude.
Nizam al-Mulk was the highest ranking minister of the Seljuk era who acted to repay the functions and requirements of the royal institution in Siyâsat Nàma.
In examining this repayment, reflecting on the practical conduct of Nizam al-Mulk, requirements and functions of the royal institution in ancient Iran, and changing them during the Islamic era seemed inevitable; therefore, this article briefly discusses these cases.
According to the change of functions of the royal institution in the Islamic period, Nizam al- Mulk, tried to repay the Iranian governance pattern in his Siyâsat Nàma.
In Siyâsat Nàma, more attention is paid to the functions of royal institution and Nizam al-Mulk tries to give Malik Shah the responsibility and promotes him to the level of ancient kings and change the tribal governments of Seljuk into the Iranian governance pattern.
