He said it was a wrong perception that Shams Tabriz was the spiritual instructor of Rumi. Rumi was a major celebrity, above the emir/sultan, highly cultured, extremely well connected and one of the most creative geniuses of all time.

In other words, if the icons of religions could dissolve, we would be left with the radiance of one another. Rumi cared for Shams, not just because he helped Rumi attain self-realization and ascension, but by immortalizing Shams he perpetuated Shams' transformative energy for all seekers in the world. Mr Noorani told the audience that Shams once said that if the Ka’aba were suddenly lifted out of the world, we would see that each person would be really bowing (five times a day) to every other person. Rumi’s broad vision about humanity made him a bridge between different faiths of the world.īut his meeting with Shams Tabriz is the key to his inclusivity, he said, adding that Shams operated beyond form and doctrine.

Rumi believes that the blessings of God are like the sun, which shines and benefits everyone, he said, adding that according to Rumi every human is equal in the view of God, who loves His creatures. Mr Noorani, talking to Dawn, said that Rumi perceived religion in a broad spectrum. Rasheed Noorani recited six ghazals from Divan-i-Shams Tabrizi, aka Divan-i- Kabir, and narrated two anecdotal stories from Masnavi to enthral the small but knowledgeable audience.Īll pieces recited were set to Persian tunes that were performed live on the stage as the background to the recital. Mr Noorani heads the Continuing Education Programme at Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, and has taught elective courses on the relationship between Maulana Rumi and Shams Tabriz. Three years after Shams appearance he vanished. Farah Yasmeen, the wife of Mr Noorani, rendered the translations of the original verses into Urdu and English. Shams-i Tabrizi turned Rumi into a devotee of music, dance and poetry. The night of mystical love poems of Rumi interspersed with anecdotes from Masnavi was recited soulfully by Rasheed Noorani. He attained heights that were attained by only a few before him or since. It is often said that Rumi had attained the level of a 'Perfect Master' and as such, he often dwelled in the spiritual realms that were rarely visited by others of this world. It is true that the love Rumi and Shams bore for one another finds its echoes in other memorable encounters between men. Mohammad Rasheed Noorani, a prominent intellectual and educationist, expressed these views while speaking at a literary event entitled ‘Chiragh-i-Ma’arfat: Recitation of Rumi’s Mystical Poetry’ held at the Arts Council on Sunday evening. Brief notes on Divan-e Shams Divan-e Shams is a masterpiece of wisdom and eloquence. Famous Sufi Shamsuddin of Tabriz was not the spiritual instructor of Rumi, the greatest mystical poet of all time.” KARACHI: “The place of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi in the history of religions is like a bridge between faiths and beliefs of the world, as he perceived religion in a broad spectrum.
