MawlanaJalal al-Din Rumi's poem, the Mathnawi, is one of the best
known and most influential works of Muslim mysticism. Its author
was born in 1207 at Balkh in Central Asia but, as a child
accompanied his father and family to settle in Qonya in Anatolia.
After he had followed his father as a preacher, Rumi's mystical
bent became more pronounced, particularly after the beginnning of
his relationship with the dervish Shams al-Dn of Tabriz which led
to non-conformist behaviour and an outpouring of lyric poetry. Rumi
had his own circle of followers, the origin of the Mevlevi sufi
order, whose whirling dance is said to be inspired by their
Shaikh's own ecstasies.
