“Love” in Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi's (Rumi) Works

Abstract

In this article we want to survey effect of love in Mawlana , s life and his works. We want to understand what love is in his idea and his look. For earning this purpose we used his works like Mathnawi 2 , Ghazalyate Shams 1 , Rubais, Majalise Saabe, Fihi Mafih, and at The end of this article we earned these results that the love that Mawlana could find is very different with today , s loves. He could find love by shams e Tabrizi and by this way he found his God. In fact love took some things and give him holy things. His love can change the universe and makes and destroys everything. He cannot define love but he experienced it. In his life, he was eager to understand God. In fact the purpose of love is knowing to God well.

Cross-Cultural Conceptualizations of Love: Cognitive Linguistic Analysis of Metaphors in Poems of Kabir and Rumi

“…There are plenty of scholarly works probing the nature and depiction of 'love' in the poems of Saint Kabir Orsini, 2013;Bose, 2011;Bhutta, 2008) and Rumi (Azizi et al, 2022;Shabanlu, 2022;Basuki & Saputri, 2021;Mannai, 2010). Moreover, there are also studies where the literary renditions of Rumi have been compared with other western and eastern literary figures (Firouzabadi & Islami, 2022;Khelil, 2020;Gayas, 2016;Parveen & Anwar, 2021;Ahmadi, 2014). However, we found no substantial work on the comparison between poems of Kabir and Rumi.…”
