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.

إن مولانا الرومي بحر في العلم و الفضل . لكن من الكرم أن يسمع كلام المسكين شمس . و انا اعلم ،و الجميع يعلمون ،أنه في الفصاحة و الفضل مشهور . و لا أحد في العالم يشبه مولانا إلى هذه الساعة. و في الفنون كلها ،سواء الأضول و الفقه و المنطق و النحو ،يتحدث مع أربابها بقوة المعنى ،و يكون حديثه افضل من حديثهم ،و اجمل و احسن ،ان اضطر إلى ذلك،و شاء قلبه،و لم تمنعه الملالة
