About Shams Tabrizi

Shams-e-Tabrīzī (or Shams al-Din Mohammad, literally: Sun of Islam; 1185–1248) was a Nizari Ismaili Iranian Sufi mystic, born in the city of Tabriz in Iranian Azerbaijan, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Additional quotes by Shams Tabrizi

أيها الأحبة ،لدى رفيق رائع،لدى مؤنس رائع، كان رجلا عجيبا،إنه محيي الدين بن عربي ، أما في المتابعة فلم يكن وفق الأصول،لم يكن لديه عين المتابعة ،هكذا كان. استفدت منه استفادة علمية و روحية كبيرة،كان دائما يقول أخطأ فلان،و بعدئذ كنت أشاهد أنه هو نفسه يخطئ،و مرات كثيرة كنت اذكر له أخطاءه،محيي الدين بن عربي ،العارف الكبير القليل النظير -أي نادر الشبه- يضطر إلى أن يطرق و يقول : أي بنى ،أتجلد بالسوط ؟
