Hazrat Rumi R.A was likely never called “Rumi” during his lifetime. The term means Rumi means “from Rome,” referring to the Byzantine Roman Empire. The empire included present-day Turkey, where Rumi lived most of his adult life. His birth name was Mohammad. Because the name was so common, people were given nicknames. When he began to see visions of angels, his father gave him the title of “Khodavandgar” which is Persian for “Lord” or “Master.” His father also called him “Jalaloddin,” meaning “Splendor of the Faith.” Later in his life, Rumi was called “Mowlana,” or “Our Teacher” or “Our Master.” It’s likely that he was never called Rumi, the name he’s known by around the globe today. ** #Preludes of 6 Volumes of Mevlana Rumi’s Masnavi: Rumi’s tribute to Hazrat Hisamudin click our website link: https://ift.tt/38rguK3
