Come here, come ... Come
Come here come whoever you are.
Wanderers, Doubters, and Lovers .. .. come here
It's not important you believe it or not ..
Come, come here ... come
We are not a heartbroken caravan.
or the doors of despair,
Come here come ...
Even though you have fallen thousands of times,
Even though you've broken thousands of appointments,
Come here ... come ... come once more ...
In another expression:
"He is a man who has no nothing, I love him and I admire him, I choose his path and I turn his face to his path. Everyone has a lover, he is my beloved, an immortal lover. He is a person I love, he is so beautiful, oh he is the most perfect. The people who love him are lovers who are never dying. He is him and he and they are him. This is a secret, if you have love, you will understand it. Maulana understands it, for others it is forbidden. "
Rumi was not just a poet, but also an influential Sufi figure in his day. Rumi is the number one teacher of Thariqat Maulawiah, a Turkish-based thariqat and thriving in the surrounding area. Thariqat Maulawiah had a major influence in the Ottoman court environment and artists around l648.
As a Sufi figure, Rumi strongly opposes the rationalization of reason and senses in determining the truth. In his day, the Muslims were indeed hit by the disease. For them the new truth is considered true when it is able to be reached by the senses and the mind. Everything that the senses and the mind can not sense, they quickly deny and are not acknowledged.
Yet according to Rumi, precisely such thoughts that can weaken the Faith to something unseen. And because of the influence of such thoughts as well, belief in the invisible essence, which is taught by various shari'a and various celestial religions, can become shaky.
Rumi said,
"The orientation to the senses in establishing all the essence of religion is the idea pioneered by the Mu'tazilites, who are slaves of submission to the five senses, who think they belong to Ahlussunnah, whereas in fact, Ahlussunnah is totally unattached to the senses, want to spoil it too. "
For Rumi, it is not worth negating something just because it has never seen it with the eyes of the head or has never felt with the senses. In fact, the mind will always be hidden behind the birth, like the healing benefits contained in the medicine. "In fact, the born always shows the existence of something that is hidden, hidden behind him, do not you know a useful drug? Is not its use hidden in it?" firmly Rumi.
EFFECT OF TABRIZ
Fariduddin Attar, one of the scholars and Sufi figures, when he met with the new 5-year-old Rumi had predicted that the little boy would become a great spiritual figure. History then recorded, Fariduddin Attar's prediction is not missed.
Rumi, Born in Balkh, Afghanistan on 604 H or 30 September 1207. Mawlana Rumi bears the full name of Jalaluddin Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Balkhi al-Qunuwi. As for 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 the high mastery of his religious sciences, he was named Sulthanul Ulama. But apparently the title raises the 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 Rumi was only five years old. 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 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 Rumi's father died when Rumi was 24 years old.
In addition to his father, Rumi also studied with Burhanuddin Muhaqqiq at-Turmudzi, his father's successor and successor to lead the university. Rumi also studied at Syam (Syria) on the advice of his teacher.
He just returned to Konya in 634 H, and took part in the college.
After Burhanuddin's death, Rumi replaced him as a teacher in Konya. With his extensive religious knowledge, in addition to being a teacher, he also became a preacher and an Islamic jurist. At that time many religious leaders gathered in Konya. No wonder if Konya later became the center of science and gathering places of scholars from all over the world.
Rumi's coveting and talent begins when he is old enough, 48 years old. Previously, Rumi was a scholar who led a madrassa with a large student, 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 from the city of Tabriz.
One day, as usual Rumi taught in front of audiences and many asked him something. Suddenly a stranger - Syamsi Tabriz - asked, "What is riyadhah and science?" Hearing questions like that Rumi was unnerved. May the question be accurate and right on target. He could not answer. Finally Rumi got acquainted with Tabriz. After hanging out for a while, he began to admire Tabriz who was a Sufi man.
Sultan Salad, son of Rumi, commented on his father's behavior, "In fact, a great teacher suddenly becomes a little disciple, and every day the professor must learn from him, even though he is quite pious and zuhud, but that is the reality. , the great teacher sees the unparalleled content of science. "
Rumi has become a Sufi, thanks to his association with Tabriz. Her grief parted and her longing to meet her teacher had been instrumental in developing her emotions, so she became a hard-to-find poet. In order to commemorate and flatter his teacher, he wrote poems, whose association came to be known as Divan Syams Tabriz. He also discusses the teachers' wisdom, and the book is known as Maqalat Syams Tabriz.
Rumi then got a new friend and source of inspiration, Shaikh Hisamuddin Hasan bin Muhammad. At the encouragement of his best friend, during the last 15 years of his life he succeeded in producing a large and amazing set of poems that are named Masnavi.
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.
Even Masnavi is often called the Persian Qur'an. His other writings are Ruba'iyyat (four lines of rhymes with a total of 1600 stanzas), Fiihi Maa fiihi (in prose, his lecture on metaphysics), and Maktubat (the collection of letters to his friends or followers).
Together with Shaikh Hisamuddin, Rumi developed the Thariqat Maulawiyah or Jalaliyah. This tariqat in the West is known as The Whirling Dervishes (the swirling Darwish). The name arises because the adherents of this tariqat perform a circling dance, accompanied by drums and flutes, in their dhikr to reach ecstasy.
WAFATNYA MAWLANA RUMI
All humans will certainly return to Him. That's what happened to Rumi. Konya residents suddenly hit by anxiety, because hearing the news that their role model, Rumi, was suffering from severe pain. Nevertheless, Rumi's mind still reveals her clarity.
A friend came to visit and pray, "May God be pleased to give you peace with healing." Rumi replied, "If you believe and be nice, death will be good, but death is also a bitter and bitter one."
On the 5th of Jumadil Akhir 672 H or 17 December 1273 at the age of 68 Rumi was summoned to Rahmatullah. When his body was about to depart, locals jostled to deliver his return. The night of his death is known as the Flow Flow (Night of Unification). Until now the followers of Thariqat Maulawiyah still commemorate that date as the day of his death.
"SAME", Dervish Dervishes Once Rumi was immersed in drunkenness in the dance "Sama" when a friend played the violin and ney, he said, "Like when our prayer speaks to God, dervish also dialogue with his God through love. Same music which is part salawat over the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam is a form of love music for the love of the Prophet and His knowledge.
Rumi says that there is a hidden secret in Music and Sama, where music is the gateway to immortality and Sama is like the electron that surrounds the essence of compounding towards the Creator. During the Rumi live dance "Sama" often done spontaneously accompanied by food and beverage banquet. Rumi with his dervish friends after Isa prayer often performs the same dance in the streets of Konya.
There are several poems in the Mathnawi that praise Sama and the natural harmonious feelings emerging from this sacred dance. In the third chapter of the Mathnawi, Rumi writes a poem about mortality in Same, "when the drums are sounded instantaneously the feeling of extassion pervades like the foam that melts from the waves of the ocean."
The Same Sacred Dance of the Mevlevi Haqqani or Tariqah Mevlawiyah tariqah is still done today in Lefke, Cyprus Turkey under the guidance of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani. Sufi teachings Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and mawlana Shaykh Hisham also penetrated cities in America and Europe, so that the Whirling Dervishes dance is also performed in many cities in America, Europe and Asia under the guidance of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani ar-Rabbani.
This same dance as a replica of the order of the universe revealed through the rotation of the planets. The Same Celebration of the Mevlevi tariqah was performed in a very sacred and arranged situation in a special setting in the seventeenth century. This celebration to honor the death of Rumi, an event that Rumi craved and he painted in pleasant terms.
Members of Tariqah Mevlevi are now learning to dance with this Mursyid guidance. This dance in its present form begins with a flute-player who plays Ney, a wood flute. The dancers enter wearing white clothing as a symbol of the shroud, and large black robes as a symbol of the grave nature and a long red or gray hat that signifies the tombstone.
Finally a Shaykh enters the very last and respects the other Darwish. They then countered respect. When the Shaykh sits on a red carpeted dialect that symbolizes the dark red sunset that refers to the beauty of the evening sky when Rumi dies. Shaykh began to pray for Rasulullah saw written by Rumi accompanied by musical accompaniment, drum, marawis and flute ney.
The flute and drummers begin their music, then the dervishes begin with three rounds slowly which are symbolic for the three stages that bring man to his Lord. In the third chapter of the shaykh sat back and the dancers took off his black cloak with a movement that caused the grave to "die before death", the second birth.
When the Shaykh allowed the dancers to dance, they began with the movement slowly rotating like a tawaf spin and round the planets around the sun. When the dance is almost over, the shaykh stands up and the music accelerates. This process ends with cover music and the recitation of the Qur'anic verses.
The Darwis Dancer troupe, regularly featuring Sama in the public auditorium in Europe and the United States. Although some of these dance movements are slow and slow but viewers say this appearance is very magical and charming. The depth of concentration, or the feeling of dzawq and the sincerity of the dervishes made their movements so hypnotic.
At the end of the performance the attendees were asked not to applaud because "Sama" is a spiritual ritual rather than an art show.
In the 17th century, Tariqah Mevlevi or Mawlawiyah was controlled by the Ottoman empire. Although Tariqah Mawlawiyah lost most of its freedom under Ottoman domination, but the protection of the King made it possible for Tariqah Mawlawi to spread widely into various regions and introduce to many people the unique and beautiful music and poetry tradition. In the 18th century, Salim III an Ottoman Sultan became a member of Tariqah Mawlawiyah and then he created music for Mawlawi ceremonies. During the 19th century, Mawlawiyya was one of about nineteen Sufi schools in Turkey and about thirty-five such groups in the Ottoman Empire.
Because of the protection of their king, Mawlawi became the most affectionate group in the empire and their cultural achievements were considered very pure. The group became famous in the west, in Europe and America their performances around the public. During the 19th century, a stage performances established in Turkey attracted the attention of many European tourist groups who came to Turkey.
In 1925, Tariqah Mawlawi was forced to disperse in their homeland of Turkey, after Kemal Ataturk founder of the modernization of Turkey banned all dervish groups complete with their ceremonies and performances. At that time Rumi's grave in Konya was taken over by the government and converted into a State museum.
Atatutrk's main motivation was to cut Turkey's ties with the Middle Ages to integrate Turkey with the modern world like western democracy. For Ataturk the Sufi tariqah poses a threat to Turkey's modernization.
It was then that Shaykh Nazim began to spread spiritual guidance and teach Islam in Cyprus, Turkey. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani Many disciples came to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and received the Tariqat Naqshbandi Haqqani. In addition he is the authority holder of the seven other great Sufi Mursyid Tariqah, including Mevlevi Haqqani or Mawlawiyah, Qodiriah, Syadziliyah, Chisty. Unfortunately, at that time all religions were banned in Turkey and because he was in the Turkish community in Cyprus, religion was banned there. Even the calling of azan is not allowed.
Shaykh Nazim's first step when he was to the mosque at his birthplace and to call the call to prayer there, he immediately put in jail for a week. Once released, Shaykh Nazim went to the great mosque in Nicosia and performed the azan in his tower. It made the officials angry and he was prosecuted for violating the law.
While waiting for the trial, Shaykh Nazim continued to chant the call to prayer in the minarets throughout Nicosia. So that demand continues to grow, there are 114 cases waiting for him. The lawyer advised him to stop doing the azan, but Shaykh Nazim said, "No, I can not stop him. People should hear the call to prayer. "
When the day of the trial arrived, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim was charged over 114 cases of calling azan throughout Cyprus. If the demands of 114 cases are proven, then he could be sentenced to 100 years in prison. But on the same day the election results are announced in Turkey. A man named Adnan Menderes was nominated to rule. His first step when he was elected President was to open up all the mosques and allow the call to prayer in Arabic.
This is the miracle Allah gave to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Until now Rumi's grave in Konya has been preserved and managed by the Turkish government as a tourist destination. Nevertheless the visitors who come there the most are the pilgrims and not tourists.
Through a Turkish government agreement, in 1953 it finally approved the "Sama" dance of Tariqah Mawlawi to be shown again in Konya on condition that the show was cultural for the tourists.
Dervish entourage is also allowed to travel internationally. Nevertheless, the whole aspect of Sufism remains an illegal practice in Turkey and many Sufis have been hunted since Ataturk outlawed their religion.
