About Mevlana Rumi
Mevlana Rumi, also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic. He was born in 1207 in present-day Afghanistan and later settled in Konya, Turkey, where he founded the Mevlevi Order of Sufism known for their Whirling Dervishes. Rumi's poetry, especially his Mathnawi and Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, explores themes of love, spiritual growth, and union with the divine. His works have transcended time and cultural barriers to become beloved around the world.
