Biographical notes

A Sufi mystic, grandson of Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī by his son Sulṭān Valad, 1226-1312,. He was born Konya on 8 D̲h̲u al-Qaʿda 670 [1272 CE] and achieved the position of third leader of the Mevleviyeh Sufi order after his father died in 1312 [1312 CE]. If we trust some of his biographers such as Aflākī, Ulu Arif Çelebi, d. 1320 played an important role in the political establishment of this Sufi order, acting as an ambassador in the name of his father to the Mongol ruler Uljāytū Khudābandah, Ilkhan of Iran, approximately 1280-1316 during the year 1312 [1312 CE]. On that occasion, he opposed the recent conversion to Shiism by the Mongol Ilkhan. He also travelled in Iraq, Iran and especially across Anatolia but unlike his ancestors, he is not praised for his literary talents, leaving only a small number of poems mostly in ghazal and ruba’i form. The same Aflākī depicts him as more concerned with Sufi practices rather than literary activities, describing his participation in long samāʿ sessions that raised suspicion of Ulu Arif Çelebi’s involvement in antinomian tendencies of Anatolia Sufism (especially Qalandarism). He died in Konya on the 23rd of Dhū al-Ḥijjah 719 [1320 CE] and was buried in the Mevlevi Tomb (türbe) that is still standing in the city today.
