عن المؤلف

Shams Tabrizi was a Persian mystic and spiritual instructor, best known for his profound influence on the famous poet Rumi. Born in Tabriz, Shams embarked on a journey that would lead him to become a pivotal figure in the development of Rumi's mystical poetry. His unique approach to spirituality and deep philosophical conversations challenged Rumi's perceptions of love, faith, and the divine, ultimately transforming him into one of the most celebrated poets of the Sufi tradition.

Shams's teachings emphasized the importance of direct experience of God, often leading to a radical shift in Rumi's work. Their relationship was intense and tumultuous, filled with both inspiration and conflict, ultimately culminating in Shams's mysterious disappearance. Despite this, his influence persisted, as Rumi dedicated many of his poems to the memory of Shams, forever intertwining their legacies in the tapestry of Persian literary and spiritual heritage.
