Biographical notes

According to some sources, he was born on Rabīʿ I 604 [1207 CE] in Balkh ( (Bausani, A. and H. Ritter. "D̲j̲alāl al-Dīn Rūmī." Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition. , [n.d.] referenceworks.brillonline.com.)). Generally known by his nickname Maulana, he was a Persian Sufi poet and the ideological founder of the Mawlawīyah Sufi order. He was the son of the Sufi thinker Bahāʼ al-Dīn Valad, 1150-1231 and together they migrated westwards when Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī was five years old. His family eventually settled in Anatolia after travelling across Central Asia, Iran and Iraq. Before taking up residence in Larende (Karaman), the family was for different periods of time in other Anatolian cities such as Sivas and the region close to Erzincan. Finally, at the request of the Seljuq prince Kayqubad I, Sultan of the Seljuks, -1237 ( (Aflākī, Shams al-Dīn Aḥmad. The feats of the knowers of God : Manāqeb al-ʻārefīn. Translated by O'Kane, John. Leiden: Brill, 2002., pp. 22)), they finally moved to Konya in 626 AH [1227-1228 CE]. It was in this city where Maulana became an influential religious leader close to the Seljuq court and where the Sufi order based on his teachings was to be developed. He had two main wives and a number of sons and daughters. Among them is Sulṭān Valad, 1226-1312, who was the real person who began the organisation of the Mawlawīyah Sufi order and succeeded his father as leader of his followers after his death. Different works by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī and compossed in the city of Konya have survived and arrived to our days. A collection of short ghazals and quatrains in Persian can be found in his Divān, there is also a collection of his sayings in the Fīhi mā fīh and letters written by him (Maktūbāt). However, the most famous of his work is the Mas̱navī-i maʻnavī, a didactic poetical work that became one of the key texts in Persian literature. Maulana died on the 5 Jumāda II 672 [1273 CE] in Konya.

Biographical notes

He was the eldest son of Maulana Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī 1207-1273, born on 25 Rabīʿ II 623 [1226 CE] in the city of Larende (Karaman, Turkey). He studied in Aleppo (Syria) and Damascus (Syria) and apparently was very close to his father. He was close to the Mawlavī circles from an early age and interacted with the friends of his father, especially Shams-i Tabrīzī, -1247, who according to Shams al-Dīn Aflākī, d. 1360 and Farīdūn ibn Aḥmad Sipahsālār was sent by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī to bring Tabrizi back to Anatolia from Damascus (Syria). He also is the copyist of the eldest surviving manuscript of Tabrīzī’s work Maqālāt. He had two daughters and a son called Aref Çelebi,1272-1320, who became his successor after his death. He has a prolific literary and religious life, composing prose and versed works on Sufism and actively attracting influential people to the proto-Sufi order that began to take shape during his time as leader of his father’s followers. Four poetic and one prose work in Persian are known, some contain some early Turkish verses, Arabic and a few Greek lines. He died in 712 AH [1312-1313 CE].
