Hazrat Maulana Shams ud-Deen Tabrizi (meaning “the Sun of Faith from Tabriz”) [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh] was a Persian Sufi Saint who is best known for his intense spiritual relationship with Maulana Jalaal ud deen Rumi [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh]. He is credited for wholly transforming Maulana Rumi’s life and thought after arriving in Konya in 642/1244.
Hazrat Shams left a single work in prose known as Maqalat (Discourses) which reveal him to be highly proficient in philosophy, theology and spirituality. He was an engaging speaker whose words were both simple and profoundly moving.
Maulana Jalaal ud deen Rumi[Rahmatul Laah Alaieh] described Hazrat Shams as being unrivaled in his knowledge of alchemy, astronomy, astrology, logic, theology and philosophy, although he kept this fact hidden in the company of religious people. Hazrat Sultan Walad, Maulana Jalaal ud deen Rumi’s son, describes him as “a man of learning and wisdom and eloquence and composition”.
