A Travel Story : Konya - City of the Mevlana and Şems-i Tebrizi - P. I
a picture from outside of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Mosque
Although I was born and raised in İzmir, my background is based on Konya. But I have not been to Konya for a lifetime until my wife goes to Konya for college education. Of course we were just lover in those days.
Konya has known ,of course, Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi which is founder of Sufism philosophy.
Tomb of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi (Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Mosque)
Not only with us, but with the respect of world history, especially with the work called Mesnevi, Hz. Mevlana's tomb is located right in the center of Konya.
I want to explain : I can not tell Mevlana in 2-3 lines. With very, very long writings, we need to explain in detail. I say this with all my sincerity. We know Mevlana, a great poet and thinker, especially with these words:
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn't matter,
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,
Come, come again, come
Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi (Rumi)
Act like the sun in love and compassion.
Act like a river in friendship and fraternity!
Act like the night in covering the faults of others!
Act like the soil in humility and selflessness
Act like dead one in anger and furry!
Either act in accordence with the way you look,
or look in accordance with the way you act!
Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi (Rumi)
Mevlana Museum, Konya In the center there is the alanda known as Mevlana's lodge. It is known as Mevlana Tomb or Mevlana Museum. Mevlana Celaleddin is also known as Rumi's Kubbe-i Harda (Green Dome). The total area of the museum is approximately 18,000 m². When Mevlâna Dergâhı was the Rose Garden of the Seljuks Palace, this garden was given to Sultan Mevlâna's father Sultânü'l-Ulemâ Bâhaeddin Veled by Sultan Alâeddin Keykubad. Built in 1274 for Mevlana, the tomb was built on four large columns of elephant feet. There have been changes in the structure as much as the sun. The tomb was made after the death of Mevlana. Because part of the Ottoman dynasty is from the Mevlevi order, the Turbine has been maintained and maintained.
In the museum, there are also Qur'anic writings, works of religion and wax sculptures of dervishes from Seljuk period. Apart from precious handwriting, there are eight stringed violins, patience stones, and a sphere museum, which was used to give astronomy lessons during Galileo's reign.
Mevlana, who summarized his life with the words "Praise, puked, burned", passed away on December 17, 1273. Sadrettin Konevi would make Mevlana's funeral prayer on his will, but Sadreddin Konevi could not stand to lose Mevlana and was fainted at the funeral. On top of that, the funeral prayer of Mevlana was made by Kadi Siraceddin.
"After our death, you will not be searching for our grave on the ground ! It is in the hearts of the Arif "
Mevlevi : whirling dervish
Arif : 1.knowing, wise person 2.enlightened person
Kadi : Muslim judge
