Biography
Born as Jal?l ad-D?n Muhammad R?m? on 30 September 1207 in the region of Balkh, present-day Afghanistan, Rumi belonged to a family of learned theologians. He was introduced to the world of spirituality and religious philosophy at a young age through his theologian father, Baha ud-Din Walad. The family migrated to escape the Mongol invasions, eventually settling in Konya, present-day Turkey. Rumi studied religious sciences and was introduced to the mystical path by his father's disciple, Sayyed Burhan ud-Din Muhaqqiq Termazi. He later succeeded his father's position as the head of a religious school. Rumi's life took a transformative turn when he met the wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz. Shams' unconventional ways and profound knowledge of divine love greatly influenced Rumi. Following the mysterious disappearance of Shams, Rumi turned to poetry, pouring his longing and love for his lost friend into verses. His works, including the Masnavi and Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, are considered among the greatest in Persian literature and Sufi philosophy. Rumi passed away on 17 December 1273, but his influence extends well beyond his time, inspiring generations with his wisdom and vision of love and unity.
Awards and Recognition
While Rumi lived in a time when formal awards and recognitions were not prevalent, his influence and recognition are widespread and transcend temporal and geographical boundaries. His poetry has been widely translated into several languages and is celebrated globally. His six-volume poem, the Masnavi, is considered one of the most influential works in Sufism. In the 21st century, Rumi is one of the best-selling poets in the United States. UNESCO commemorated the 800th anniversary of Rumi's birth in 2007 by declaring it the 'Year of Rumi'. His works continue to be studied and revered in the fields of literature, philosophy, and spirituality.
