Rumi -  (Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī)

Jalaluddin Rumi, commonly known as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, theologian, and Sufi mystic whose works have left an indelible mark on the world of literature and spirituality. Born on September 30, 1207, in the city of Balkh (present-day Afghanistan), Rumi’s early life was marked by a profound intellectual and spiritual awakening. He studied Islamic jurisprudence, theology, and philosophy, but his life transformed dramatically when he met the enigmatic dervish Shams al-Din Tabrizi. This encounter ignited Rumi’s deep mystical journey and inspired him to compose some of the most evocative and profound poetry ever written. His magnum opus, the “Masnavi,” is celebrated for its rich spiritual insight and poetic beauty, exploring themes of love, divinity, and the quest for inner truth. Rumi’s teachings emphasize the transformative power of love and the unity of all existence, transcending religious and cultural boundaries. He passed away on December 17, 1273, in Konya (modern-day Turkey), where his tomb has become a pilgrimage site for followers from around the world. Rumi’s legacy endures through his timeless poetry, which continues to inspire and resonate with readers and seekers of wisdom across generations.  Some of his famous quotations are as following:
