Influence of Tabriz



Fariduddin Attar, also a Sufi figure, when he met Jalaluddin Rumi, who was only 5 years old, had predicted that the little boy would become a great spiritual figure. History then recorded, Fariduddin's prediction was not missed. Born in Balkh, Afghanistan on 604 H or 30 September 1207 Jalaluddin Rumi bears the full name of Jalaluddin Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Balkhi al-Qunuwi. As for Jalaluddin Rumi's call because most of his life was spent in Konya (now Turkey), formerly known as the area of ​​Rum (Rome).

His father, Bahauddin Walad Muhammad bin Husein, was a great scholar of the Hanafi school. And because of his charisma and high mastery of his religious sciences, he was dubbed Sulthanul Ulama (king of ulama). But apparently the title was envy of some other scholars. And they launched a slander and denounced Bahauddin to the ruler. Unfortunately the ruler was affected until Bahauddin had to leave Balkh, including his family. At that time Jalaluddin Rumi just five years of beruisa. [2]

Since then Bahauddin and his family have moved from country to country. They once lived in Sinabur (northeastern Iran). From Sinabur moved to Baghdad, Makkah, Malattya (Turkey), Laranda (southeastern Iran) and last settled in Konya, Turkey. King Konya Alauddin Kaiqubad, appointed Jalaluddin Rumi's father as his advisor, and also appointed him as the head of a religious college founded in the capital. In this city also father Jalaluddin Rumi died when Jalaluddin Rumi was 24 years old.

In addition to his father, Jalaluddin Rumi also studied at Burhanuddin Muhaqqiq at-Turmudzi, his father's successor and successor to lead the university. Jalaluddin Rumi also studied at Syam (Syria) on the advice of his teacher. He just returned to Konya in 634 H, and took part in teaching at the college.

After Burhanuddin's death, Jalaluddin Rumi succeeded him as a teacher in Konya. With his vast knowledge of religion, in addition to being a teacher, he also became the da'i and jurist of Islam. At that time in Konya many prominent clerics gathered. No wonder if Konya later became the center of science and gathering places of scholars from all over the world.

Kesufian and kepenyairan Jalaluddin Rumi begins when he was old enough, 48 years old. Previously, Jalaluddin Rumi was a scholar who led a madrassa with a large number of pupils, 4,000 people. Like a cleric, he also gave the fatwa and the pedestal of his people to ask and complain. His life turned a hundred and eighty degrees when he met a traveling philosopher, Syamsuddin alias Syamsi Tabriz.

One day, as usual Jalaluddin Rumi taught in front of audiences and many asked him something. Suddenly a stranger - Syamsi Tabriz - asked, "What is riyadhah and knowledge?" Hearing such questions Jalaluddin Rumi was unnerved. May the question be accurate and right on target. He could not answer. Next, Jalaluddin Rumi got acquainted with Tabriz. After hanging out for a while, he begins to admire Tabriz who turns out to be a Sufi. He talked and argued about things with Tabriz. They stayed in the room for days.

Sultan Salad, son of Jalaluddin Rumi, commented on his father's behavior, "Indeed, a great teacher suddenly became a little pupil. Every day the professor should gain knowledge from him, although in fact he is quite pious and zuhud. But that's the reality. In Tabriz, the great teacher sees the unparalleled content of science. "

Jalaluddin Rumi is completely subservient to his new teacher. In his eyes, Tabriz is absolutely perfect. Just unfortunately, Jalaluddin Rumi then neglected his teaching duties. As a result many of his students protested. They accused the foreigners of the culprits. For fear of slander and fear of his own safety, Tabriz then secretly leaves Konya.

Like a teenager abandoned his lover, so love his teacher, the departure of Tabriz it makes Jalaluddin Rumi overwhelmed with grief. Jalaluddin Rumi is really grieving. He just confined himself in the house and also not willing to teach. Tabriz who heard this news, then sent a letter and admonished Jalaluddin Rumi. Feeling to find his master again, Jalaluddin Rumi's passion rose again. And he started teaching again.

A few moments later he sent his son, Sultan Salad, to search for Tabriz in Damascus. Through his son, Jalaluddin Rumi wants to express his regret and apology for the actions of his students and ensure the safety of his teacher when it is pleased to return to Konya.
n order to grant Jalaluddin Rumi's request, Tabriz returns to Konya. And start Jalaluddin Rumi is preoccupied with Tabriz. Gradually the students seemed to feel neglected, and they began to show Tabriz unhappiness. Again the mystical Sufi, secretly leaving Jalaluddin Rumi, for fear of slander. Despite Jalaluddin Rumi looking to Damascus, Tabriz did not come back.

Jalaluddin Rumi has become a Sufi, thanks to his association with Tabriz. Her sadness to part and her longing to meet her teacher had been instrumental in developing her emotions, so she became a hard-to-find poet. To recall and flatter his master, he wrote poems, whose association came to be known as Divan-i Syams-i Tabriz. He also wrote his teachers' wisdom, and the book was known as Maqalat-i Syams Tabriz.

Jalaluddin Rumi then got a new friend and source of inspiration, Sheikh Hisamuddin Hasan bin Muhammad. At the encouragement of his best friend, he succeeded in the last 15 years of his lifetime to produce a large and fascinating poetry set named Masnavi-i. The book is composed of six volumes and contains 20,700 verses of poetry. In this work, visible teachings of profound Sufism, presented in the form of apology, fables, legends, anecdotes, and others. His other writings are Ruba'iyyat (four lines in 1600 verses), Fiihi Maa fiihi (in prose, his lecture on Sufism), and Maktubat (the collection of letters to his friends or followers).

Along with Shaykh Hisamuddin also, Jalaluddin Rumi developed the tarekat Maulawiyah or Jalaliyah. This congregation in the West is known as The Whirling Dervishes (The Whirlwind Darwisy). The name arises because the followers of this congregation perform a swirling dance, accompanied by drums and flutes, in their dhikr to reach ecstasy.
