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.

الناس جميعهم مقلدون, فقوم منهم يقلدون الأهواء, و قوم يقلدون الصفاء, و قوم يقلدون المصطفى, و قوم يقلدون الله, و عن الله يروون. و ثمة قوم غير مقلدين أيضا, كما أنهم لا يروون شيئا عن الله , بل يتكلمون عن أنفسهم
