Instead he stayed at the Traders inns, showing himself as a traveling salesman.
He avoided staying at the seminaries and khankahs. He detested faqihs (scholars) because they indulged in useless polemics and diatribes. He disliked the mystics because they had given up the Shari’a (practice). He was also advised by his master to stay away from the sufis as well as the faqihs (religious scholars) which he did.Īlways traveling from place to place (he was called parinda or flying bird for hat reason), Shams would show up at times at the seminaries and madrisas, however, without revealing his credentials.
He was however told that he had to wait until his future student was ready to receive from him the promised gift. He was certified by Kamal Jundi as a master himself and was cautioned that he would stay away from the odinary and the mundane and that one day he will meet with someone who will act as his mouthpiece and speak to the world on his behalf. Shams Tabriz who had an innate and inborn gift for the metaphysical accomplished himself as a master within a relatively short period. When Shams-i Tabriz demonstrated his interest in learning the esoteric and the metaphysical, he recommended that he would go to a master teacher, Kamal Jundi. He studied various sciences with Abubakar Sanjasi Tabrizi, a reknown mystic teacher of Najmuddin Kubra order. He was sent to Tabriz to seek further knowledge. He had studied Quran and jurisprudence with his father and uncle, both accomplished Jurists, very early in life. Shams-i Tabriz was, without doubt, a no ordinary person. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. Shams-i-Tabrīzī or Shams al-Din Mohammad (1185–1248) was a Persian Muslim, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi’s poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz).
