Hz. Mawlana’s love of the Prophet (phub)
Şefik Can
Rumi has a special place in his heart for the Prophet of Islam because he proposed a high level of ethics for humanity, such as freeing slaves and taking care of the poor. Historically speaking, there is no historical personality like Muhammad who brought freedom to the slaves and the lower classes. Therefore, not only Muslim saints but philosophers like Thomas Carlyle and the German poet Goethe have fallen in love with Prophet Muhammad because of his service to humanity throughout his life. In their books, they have expressed their reverence for Prophet Muhammad. Very recently, Michael Hart has written a book about the hundred most influential historical personalities and ranked Muhammad number one.

WE VERILY ARE ITS GUARDIAN
” ‘Innā Naĥnu Nazzalnā Adh-Dhikra Wa ‘Innā Lahu Laĥāfižūna:
We have, without doubt, sent down the message; and We verily are its Guardian .”
[Qur'an - Al Hijr 15/9]
Mawlana Jalaladdeen-i Rumi (k.s):
“……..The loving kindnesses of God made a promise to Mustafá (Mohammed), saying, “If thou shalt die, (yet) this Lesson (the Qur’án) shall not die.
I am exalting thy Book and Miracle, I am defending the Qur’án from those who would make it more or less.
I am exalting thee in both worlds, I am driving away the scoffers from thy Tidings.

HZ. MAWLÂNÂ AND SHAMS
RUMI’S MEETING WITH SHAMS
After Burhan al-Din Tirmidhi passed away, Rumi began lecturing in the madrasa in Konya and training students. He had taken his first lessons from his father, the king of scholars. On the one hand, Rumi lectured in the seminary, held conversations with those seeking the truth, and answered their questions; on the other hand, he guided the lovers of Cod and warned them.
This way Rumi became the sultan of scholars in the religions sciences and other sciences, like his father, and he also became the sultan of gnostics in the area of Sufism. The public admired Rumi very much. In the view of the sultan, notables, and the common folk, he was known as a most elevated Muslim, an insan al-kamil, because of his devotion to worship, dedication to fasting and praying, virtues, humanity, graciousness, modesty despite his great knowledge, abstinence from the world, his commitment to the Muhammadi path just like his father, and his crystal clear life.
