Nizamülmülk is one of the important representatives of the administrative structure of the Great Seljuk State. He has created the traditional bureaucracy. His book “political treatise” is a famous work. It describes the systematic relationship between the state and the citizen. I also will share some quotes from this book.

“Sufyan es-Sevri said: The most successful of kings becomes friends with scientists. The worst of scientists also is friends with kings. p. 125.
Story 22
