Rumi, also known as JalÄl ad-DÄ«n Muhammad RÅ«mÄ«, was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic. Rumi's name is derived from the Arabic word 'RÅ«mÄ«,' which refers to the region of Anatolia, historically known as 'Rûm' after the Byzantine Empire. Rumi's poetry and teachings emphasize love, spirituality, and self-discovery. The name Rumi has gained popularity globally due to its association with the poet's profound works and the spiritual movement he inspired. Rumi's name, JalÄl ad-DÄ«n, translates to 'Glory of the Faith' in Arabic, reflecting his religious significance rather than wisdom, compassion, or spiritual depth.
