To teach history in the modern era, it is essential to utilize a variety of sources, texts, and materials, highlighting the role of each in their academic context. Among these sources are books that address the conduct of ministry, such as "Dastur al-Vezareh " of Esfahani. Within the texts of these types of works, whose primary basis is instructions for ministers, there are numerous historical points. By studying them, some historical aspects become clearer. The position of the minister, being an intermediary between the king and the people, rendered the policies of that time, which is today's history, to contain interesting educational points for history enthusiasts. In the history of Iran, ministers were considered one of the main pillars of the government, which illustrates their educational historical weight. The aim of this research is to highlight the importance of "Dastur al-Wuzara" in emphasizing the science of history and its teaching. The significance and necessity of this research are to reveal the role of "Dastur al-Wuzara" with a focus on " Dastur al-Vezareh" of Esfahani in the learning and historical teachings for future generations
