  • CHAPTER II. DISCUSSION of the PROBLEM and SOLUTION Here
    CHAPTER II. DISCUSSION OF THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION Here are the data found through literature review which explains about all the journey of Rumi on turning to Sufi mystic and Poet: II. 1 A Brief Introduction of Rumi Maulana Rumi was born in Persian Empire, on Eastern shores in Balkh city that is current Afghanistan on September 30, 1207. In order to avoid the Mongol’s invasion his family moved to Turkey and settled in the city today known as Konya. In the first years of 2000 Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi had known to be one of the most readable Persian poets on the West. People say he is on the same level as Mozart, Beathoven and Shakespeare for his talent and creativity. In our time, countries such Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan call the Sufis their national poets, but none of these countries actually existed at that time. Iran was known as Persian Empire, with its monarchy, and the area of this empire was much larger than today. This territory now includes the territories of modern countries of Iran, Afghanistan, as well as parts of Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey and Iraq. Turkey was not yet formed, and Afghanistan was part of the province of Khorasan in the old Persian Empire. In general, Rumi's life story is full of intrigues and drama, mixed with intense creative flashbacks. Rumi was a charming, wealthy nobleman, a brilliant theologian, a law professor and intelligent, wise scientist, who, at the age of thirty, met a wild man Shams. Rumi himself said that after meeting with Shams, he has changed from an ordinary student to a scientist, who realized that he was a seeker of passion for truth and universal love (Shahram Shiva 2018).

Jalal ad-Din Rumi was born in Balkh in Khorasan in 1207. Rumi was himself the son of an eminent teacher, Baha-ud-Din Valad, who was also called “the Sultan of the scholars”. It is in his memory that his grandson, Sultan Valad, was also called Baha-ud-Din. In 1219, Rumi’s father had to flee from Khorasan because of the Mongol invasion. The family ended up settling down in Anatolia, at Konya, capital of the Seljuk Empire. This is where Jalal ad-Din Rumi succeeded to his father as the head of a theology college.

  • "Mevlana Rumi- the Persian Poet of Divine Love and Mysticism"
    www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 4 April 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 "Mevlana Rumi- The Persian Poet of Divine Love and Mysticism" By: DR SHEERAZA AKHTER Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Persian, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J&K, India E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Mevlana Rumi, Persian, Masnavi, Sufi, Divan, Shamsi Tabrizi, Mystic Mevlana Khodavandgar Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi Rumi, popularly known as Mevlana Rumi, is arguably the finest Persian poet of all times who had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture. His poetry is still well known throughout the modern world, and he is one of the best selling poets even in modern-day America. He was born in 1207 AD to native Persian-speaking parents in Balkh in present-day Afghanistan. Increasing Mongol attacks forced his family to leave Afghanistan, who travelled to Baghdad, Mekkah, Damascus and finally settled in Konya in Turkey. Rumi was the son of a renowned Sufi scholar, Sultan-ul-Ulama Baha-ud-Din Walad, and consequently he was introduced to Sufism from a very young age. Sufism is a branch of Islam primarily concerned with developing the spirituality, or more precisely, the inner character of a Muslim. In fact, much of Rumi’s work is dedicated to waking people up from the deep materialistic slumber, and inspiring them to experience life themselves, rather blindly following the scholars of the day. The most important influences upon Rumi, besides his father, were the Persian poets Attar and Sanai. Rumi expresses his appreciation for the poets in these words: “Attar was the spirit, Sanai his eyes twain, And in time thereafter, came we in their train” “Attar has traversed the seven cities of Love, We are still at the turn of one street” Rumi witnessed the greatest turning point in his life when he met a travelling Sufi, named Shams-ud-Din of Tabriz or Shams-i-Tabrizi which changed the whole course of his life.

  • Medical Breakthroughs in Islamic Medicine Zakaria Virk, Canada
    Medical Breakthroughs in Islamic Medicine Zakaria Virk, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Physicians occupied a high social position in the Arab and Persian culture. Prominent physicians served as ministers or judges of the government and were also appointed as royal physicians. Physicians were well-versed in logic, philosophy and natural sciences. All of the prominent Muslim philosophers earned their livelihood through the practice of medicine. Muslim physicians made astounding break throughs in the fields of allergy, anatomy, bacteriology, botany, dentistry, embryology, environmentalism, etiology, immunology, microbiology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, pathology, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, surgery, urology, zoology, and the pharmaceutical sciences. The Islamic medical scholars gathered vast amounts of information, from around the known world, added their own observations and developed techniques and procedures that would form the basis of modern medicine. In the history of medicine, Islamic medicine stands out as the period of greatest advance, certainly before the technology of the 20th century. Aristotle teaching, from document in the British Library, showing the great reverence of the Islamic scholars for their Greek predecessor 1 This article will cover remarkable medical feats

Showcasing the library's rich holdings in this area, the exhibit was very well received -so much so that there has been a scholarly demand for the library to issue a catalogue of its holdings. This shelflist serves as an interim guide to the collection. It was made possible by the splendid work of Emilie Savage-Smith of Oxford University. Over the past few years, Dr. Savage-Smith has lent her time and her considerable expertise to the cataloguing of these manuscripts, examining every volume, providing much new information on authorship, contents, provenance, etc., superseding the earlier cataloguing by Francis E. Sommer, originally published in Dorothy M. Schullian and Francis E. Sommer, A Catalogue of Incunabula and Manuscripts in the Army Medical Library in 1950.
