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

According to Seyyid Sahih Ahmed Dede, 1742-1813, ( (Dede, Sahih Ahmed. Mevlevîlerin Tarihi. Istanbul: 2003., pp. 148)), he was born in 616 [1219 CE]. The date is unfortunately not possible to be confirmed from other sources. Little is known about his life but the title Sipahsālār was commonly used as a military distinction in the Seljuq court and many followers of Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī were distinguished with this title in the 14th and 15th century [1300-1499 CE]. The title denotes that he should have been under the service of the Seljuq court but at some point after the dead of Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī , he left his court responsibilities and dedicated himself to serve the still embryonic mevlevi order. Farīdūn ibn Aḥmad Sipahsālār was closely attached to Rūmī’s first successor Ḥusām al-dīn Chalabī, d. 1284, حسام الدین چلبی. When he passed away, Farīdūn Sipahsālār continued to be part of Rūmī's followers under the leadership of Sulṭān Valad, 1226-1312. The date of his death is not clear. Some suggest the year 712 AH [1312 CE](see (Şimşekler, Nuri. "SİPEHSÂLÂR, Ferîdun." Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı İslam Ansiklopedisi. , [n.d.].)) while others like Seyyid Sahih Ahmed Dede, 1742-1813 proposes 706 AH [1306 CE] ( (Dede, Sahih Ahmed. Mevlevîlerin Tarihi. Istanbul: 2003.)), Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı claims he died between 683-712 [1284-1312 CE](see (Gölpınarlı, Abdülbâki. Mevlânâ’dan Sonra Mevlevîlik. İstanbul: 1983., pp. 14-15)) and Franklin Lewis says that he died some time after 1295 [1295 CE], with some venturing to suggest that he died 50 years after Rūmī in circa 1320 [1315-1330 CE] ( (Lewis, Franklin. Rumi: past and present, east and west : the life, teaching and poetry of Jalâl al-Din Rumi. Oxford and Boston: Oneworld, 2000., pp. 243).). His grave was placed next to that of Bahāʼ al-Dīn Valad, 1150-1231
