“Do not worry that your life
is turning upside down.
How do you know that
the side you are used to
is better
than the new one to come?”
~ Rumi
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi,(1207 A.D – 1273 A.D) also known as Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi and popularly known as Mevlana in Turkey and Mawlana in Iran and Afghanistan but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi was a 13th-century Persian Muslim poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic. Rumi is a descriptive name meaning “Roman” since he lived most of his life in an area called “Rum” (then under the control of Seljuq dynasty) because it was once ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire. He was one of the figures who flourished in the Sultanate of Rum.
