Shah Rukh's wife, [[Gawhar Shad]], funded the construction of two [[mosque]]s and theological colleges in [[Mashhad]] and Herat. The [[Goharshad Mosque|Gawhar Shad Mosque]] was finished in 1418. The mixed ethnic origins of the ruling dynasty led to a distinctive character in its cultural outlook, which was a combination of Persian civilization and art, with borrowings from [[China]], and literature written in [[Persian language|Persian]] as well as [[Chagatay language|Chagatay]] and [[Arabic language|Arabic]].
Shah Rukh commissioned the production of a number of historical and geographic works by [[Hafiz-i Abru]]. Among them is ''Tāriḵ-e Šāhroḵ(i)'', the history of Shah Rukh's reign through 1413-14 (816 AH). It was later incorporated by its author into larger "universal history" compilations, ''Majmuʿa-ye Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru'' (a universal history work) and ''Majmaʿ al-tawāriḵ [al-solṭāni(ya)]'' (section ''Zobdat al-tawāriḵ-e Bāysonḡori'').<ref name=iranica-abru>Maria Eva Subtelny and Charles Melville, {{Iranica|hafez-e-abru|Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru}}</ref>
