Rumi's Background

"Rumi was born in Wakhsh (Tajikistan) under the administration of Balkh in 30 September 1207 to a family of theologians. Escaping the Mongol invasion and destruction, Rumi and his family traveled in the Muslim lands, performed pilgrimage to Mecca and finally settled in Konya, Anatolia, then part of the Seljuk Empire. When his father Bahaduddin Valad passed away, Rumi succeeded his father in 1231 as professor in religious sciences. Rumi 24 years old, was an already accomplished scholar in religious and positive sciences."
