When Maulana Rumi last hours arrived, family and friends begin to weep. Rumi replied, "My friends are drawing me (to) this side, and Hazrat-é Mawlânâ Shamsudîn [Shams-é Tabrîz] is calling me (to) that side." Then he quoted the verse, "Respond to God's summoner and believe in Him" (Qur'an 46:31) His last day is celebrated as Urs, the Night of Reunion with his Creator. It is not a celebration of sorrow, but a day of blessings.
