Nizam al-Mulk observes that persons should be appointed to watch the conduct of judges, tax collectors, police officers, and inspectors of weights and measures.
Nizam al-Mulk quotes the Prophet (PBUH) to the effect that he who appoints a man to a position, knowing that a better man is present in the community, has betrayed God, his Prophet, and the entire body of Muslims.
Nizam al-Mulk lamented that "there are men, utterly incapable, who hold 10 posts, and if another were to turn up, they would spend their efforts and money to get it; and nobody would consider whether such people have the requisite ability...

Seljuqid operations against Alamut
His vizir Nizam al-Mulk, an ardent and ruthless enemy of the Ismailis, infused him to dispatch two big armies, one to Rudhbar, and the other to Kohistan.
In the meantime, the vizir Nizam al-Mulk began to incite the people and employed the pens of theologians against Hasan bin Sabbah and his followers.
Indeed the Shiite resentment was the principal cause of Nizam al-Mulk's murder in 485/1092.

Pleased with Al Ghazali’s accepting the invitation, Al Mulk – the powerful leader of the Seljuq Dynasty – made him the head master of the Al Madrasah Nizamiyah, or the Nizamiyah College, in Baghdad in the year 1091.
Thus, Al Ghazali maintained, the parents would be rewarded by the almighty for their proper endeavor in relation to their child.
As an overall guideline, Al Ghazali pointed out a student should treat others as he would have others treat him and that for his relationship with God, he must act towards God as he would have his servant act towards him, as everyone is in service of God.

Nizam al-Mulk's madrasah system enhanced the prestige and solidarity of the Jama'i-Sunnite 'ulama' without actually drawing them into the bureaucracy or combating anti-Sunnite agitation, but it also undermined their autonomy.
Nizam al-Mulk unintentionally encouraged the independence of these amirs by extending the iqta' system beyond Buyid practice; he regularly assigned land revenues to individual military officers, assuming that he could keep them under bureaucratic control.

Justice is the most important virtue, and Nizam al-Mulk recommended the king hold court on two days of the week to hear complaints personally and redress wrongs so that oppressors would curb their activities from fear of punishment.
Nizam al-Mulk believed it was the perfection of wisdom not to become angry at all; but if one does become angry, intelligence should prevail over wrath.
Nizam cited the early caliph 'Umar's response to the last Sasanian king Yazdijurd Shahryar to show that the latter's empire was declining, because his court was crowded with complainers; his treasury was full of ill-gotten wealth; and his army was disobedient.

Then the late Nizam al-'Ulama said: `Yes, your statements in regard to this tradition are exactly the same as those which an unlettered man asked of a learned one: "Which Imam was it who was eaten by a jackal in Basra?" He meant his holiness Joseph.
Nizam al-'Ulama' said: `You, sir -- what's the meaning of these words of `Allama:[4] `If a man should have intercourse with a hermaphrodite, or a hermaphrodite with a woman, ablutions are obligatory for the hermaphrodite, but not for either the man or the woman'.

Nizam Al-Mulk was born in 1018 A.D. in the town of Tus in the Persian province of Khorasan.
Nizam Al-Mulk developed a vast and rich store of experience, because he considered travelling over the huge empire and keeping direct contact with the people to be a top priority.
Although Nizam Al-Mulk in his discourse usually addresses the King, it is apparent that the wisdom he seeks to distil into his advice is for all people in authority, be they kings, governors, generals or - in today's parlance - presidents, CEOs, ministers or managers.

Paper: "The Historical Muslim City: Lessons for the Discourse on Islam and Democracy" by Douglas E. Streusand ...
Nizam al-Mulk was of course a statesman, not a theologian or jurist; it is perhaps not surprising that he conceived of a synthesis or fusion between Islam and Iranian and Turkic political traditions.
Because of their enormous importance in the political, institutional, and intellectual development of Islam and Islamic civilization, `Umar ibn al-Khattab, Abu Yusuf, Nizam a-Mulk, and al-Ghazali demonstrate the normative nature of the fusion of between Islam and the Iranian tradition of monarchy.
The idea of kingship and religion as brothers, that political authority came from God and was accompanied by a set of norms and institutions distinct from the Shari`ah, formed part of the core of Islamic civilization.

The confederated princes were Adel Khan, Nizam al Mulk, the Zamorin, and the king of Acheen, and they flattered themselves in the hope of extirpating the Portuguese from India, making themselves so sure of success, that they agreed beforehand on the division of their expected conquests.
The Nizam encamped with the main body of the army at the farther end of the town, where the ground was covered with tents for the space of two leagues; and 5000 horse were detached to ravage the district of Basseen.
This action was seen by the Nizam in person, who mounted his horse and threatened to join in it in person, for which purpose he seized a lance, which he soon changed for a whip, with which he threatened to chastise his men, and upbraided them as cowards.
