The map of Rumi's life stretched over 2,500 miles. Gooch retraces this epic journey from Central Asia, where Rumi was born in 1207, traveling with his family - who were displaced by Mongol terror - as they settle in Konya, Turkey. Pivotal was the disruptive appearance of Shams of Tabriz, who, in the 1240s, taught Rumi to whirl and transformed him from a respectable Muslim preacher into a poet and mystic. Their vital connection as teacher and pupil, friend and beloved, is one of the world's greatest spiritual love stories. When Shams disappeared, Rumi coped with the pain of separation by composing joyous poems of reunion, both human and divine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12277819670563,"sku":"9780061999154","price":34.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/aefe8138eefa3da747b147c8dab6f80e465bc717.jpg?v=1531722985"},{"product_id":"rumiandislamselectionsfromhisstoriespoemsanddiscourses","title":"Rumi and Islam: Selections from His Stories, Poems, and Discourses","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIbrahim Gamard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9781594730023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lyric and wisdom poetry of Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi has been an inspiration throughout the Middle East and Asia for over seven hundred years.

This volume provides an in depth and intimate view into Rumi's life and practice. It becomes apparent that Rumi was not calling people to his side to join a spiritual club, but rather calling them into the experience of the Divine Abundance and Beauty such that the rough edges of selfhood might soften and the luminous inner Spirit of each being might shine, illuminating for everyone the enveloping Oneness of Reality. His life was as he said of his masterwork, the Mathnawi, \"a shop of Oneness\"; anything you find within it is just in service to the elucidation of that Supreme Oneness by which we are held and through which we breathe.

Practically every collection of his poetry provides a thumbnail biography, highlighting his encounter with Shams-i Tabrizi, the wandering mystic who became Rumi’s beloved companion. Rumi had been a sober scholar, teaching law and theology to a small circle of students, but the coming of Shams turned him into a devotee of music, dance, and poetry. Three years after Shams’s appearance out of nowhere, he abruptly vanished, never to be seen again. It was Rumi’s longing for the lost Shams that transformed him into one of the world’s greatest poets. Rumi immortalized Shams’s name by constantly celebrating him in his poetry as the embodiment of the divine beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery little is known about the historical Shams—indeed, some have even doubted that he was a real person. Everyone interested in Rumi’s poetry has been curious about him, and beginning with Rumi’s own son and other hagiographers, a great deal of legend was built up. Over the centuries Shams became a trope of Persian, Turkish, and Urdu literatures. Modern scholarship has made little headway in explaining who Shams was or how he was able to play such a decisive role in Rumi’s life, though a good number of theories have been advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMe and Rumi represents a true milestone in the study of this enigmatic figure. It makes available for the first time in any European language first-hand accounts of Shams that have never been studied by Western scholars. When Rumi and Shams sat and talked, one or more members of the circle took notes. These were never put into final form, but they were preserved and sometimes copied by later generations, ending up in various libraries scattered around Turkey. Fifteen years ago an Iranian scholar completed the long process of collating and editing the manuscripts. The book that he published, called Maqalat-i Shams-i Tabrizi, “The Discourses of Shams-i Tabrizi”, provides us with an extraordinary picture of an awe-inspiring personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Me and Rumi William C. Chittick has translated about two-thirds of the Discourses into English and arranged them in a manner that clarifies their meaning and context. He provides notes and a glossary, which will go a long way toward helping readers decipher the more obscure passages. The net result is an exciting and readable book that brings Shams to life. For the first time in Western sources we are given access to him without the intermediary of Rumi and the myth-makers. Shams appears as raucous and sober, outspoken and subtle, harsh and gentle, learned and irreverent, and above all as an embodiment of the living presence of God. The book destroys the stereotypes that have been set up by the secondary literature, and it gives access to a far more fascinating and vivid personality than we have any right to expect from what hagiographers and scholars have written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fons Vitae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32871597932579,"sku":"9781887752527","price":47.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/a94ea40861e04c90715bfce3da31c8267340fef0.jpg?v=1600401399"},{"product_id":"rumimysticandpoet","title":"Rumi: Mystic and Poet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReynold A.

However, less attention has been paid to the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, sometimes called the “Whirling Dervishes.” Centered on the descendants of Rumi and the disciples of his thought, the Mevlevis flourished in Anatolia during a period of extraordinary political, religious, and linguistic change. By the seventeenth century, they had become the recognizable bearers of Rumi’s tradition across the Ottoman world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJamal J. Elias argues that the Mevlevis are best understood as a community rooted in kinship and emotional affinity, anchored by multiple generations of partnership between Rumi’s descendants, known as Chelebis, and scholars devoted to his works. These collaborations shaped the religious, artistic, and social priorities of the Mevlevis, while also establishing the status of both Rumi and the Persian language in Ottoman society. As Turkish became the dominant literary and administrative language in the Ottoman world, Persian literacy faltered despite continued reverence for canonical Persian texts. Over time, the Mevlevis became the most important authorities on Rumi’s works—especially his multivolume epic poem called the Masnavi, which gradually assumed a significant quasi-scriptural status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA revelatory account of religious formation, After Rumi illuminates the affective dimensions of spiritual life and the dynamics of cultural exchange in the premodern eastern Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41883814723619,"sku":"9780674296145","price":59.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_7749_853e363d-d344-4556-aaa2-650f6eb3ac5f.jpg?v=1769518073"}],"url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/collections\/rumi.oembed?page=2","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
