💨 Abstract

Shams-u-Tabrez, in his Maqalut, recounts his encounter with Rumi in Damascus. Rumi had been sent to Damascus by Borhan-al-Din, a disciple of Baha-al-din Valad, for theological studies. Fifteen years later, they met again, an interaction that transformed Rumi's religious outlook and inspired his poetic works.
