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].
