Mawlana Jalal'ud-Din Rumi was born in Balkh in present day Afghanistan
in 1027. His father Baha'ud-Din, was a noted theologian and Sufi. In
1220, when Balkh was threatened bythe invading hordes of Mongols from
Central Asia, Baha'ud Din and hisfamily left Balkh and, travelling via
Khurasan and Syria, reached the province of Rum in central Anatolia,
which isin present-day Turkey. They settled in Qonya, the capital of
Rum, and soon Baha'ud-Din's teaching and preaching met with great
success, even attracting Sultan Ala'ud-Din Kaykubad. Jalal'ud-Din was
broughtup in his father's tradition of learning, and after his
father's death, he was introduced to direct knowledge of God and the
deeper mysteries of spiritual life by Shaykh Burhan'ud-din Muhaqiq
al-Tirmidhi. Under Shaykh al-Tirmidhi's guidance, Rumi underwent many
spiritual retreats of fortydays each, until he was awakened and
enlightened.
In 1244 Rumi met another spiritual master,Shams'ud Din of Tabriz, who
transformed him completely. There was measureless love between the
two. After Shams'ud-Din's death, Rumi met several more spiritual
masters. It was one of his close followers, Husam'ud-Din Chalabi who
inspired Rumi to record his entirewisdom on paper for his followers.
Rumi acceded to this wish and started dictating his famous Mathnavi-ye
Ma'navi to Husam'ud-Din, which continued until his death in 1273. The
Mathnavi is considered by the Sufis to be a spiritual commentary on
the Quran in the Persian language. For example, Mawlana Jalal'ud-Din
Rumi says:
"Every prophet has received from him the guarantee:
Seek help with patience and prayer.
Come, ask of Him, not anyone except Him.
Seek water in the sea; do not seek it in the dry river-bed."
and
"What is unification?
To burn one's self beforethe one."
and
"I have remained for thesake of betterment,
In the prison of this world.
What have I to do with the prison?
Whose money have I stolen?"

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
