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

إن قولا واحدا لمولانا الرومى لا يمكن أن يساويه عندنا ألف دينار. الباب الذي سد في وجهى فتح بإرشاده. و الله إنى مقصر في تعرف مولانا،و الآن و أنا هنا أعلم أي جوهر قيم كان مولانا. إن عظمة الجبل يمكن تعرفها من بعد على نحو أفضل، و لا بد من تعرف مولانا على نحو أفضل. إن وراء كلامه أشياء، و يجب طلب تلك الأشياء منه
