First of all everyone should know that Persia was a big empire which has formed from the countries which we know them today by the names of Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan and a part of Uzbekistan. When we say that Rumi was from Persia it doesn’t mean that he was from Iran! Because a lot of people think that Persia is equal to Iran which is not. The land and exact place which Rumi has born calls Balkh which is a province of Afghanistan right now. Right now we can not say that Rumi was from Iran or neither from Afghanistan. He was from an empire land which is called Persia which it doesn’t exists now and divided in many other countries.

He was born in modern day Afganistan then Persia. Moved to modern day Turkey Konya (central Turkey) with his wife and kid to get away from the Mongols.
Konya is a city south of Ankara in Turkey’s Central Anatolia region. It’s a pilgrimage destination for Sufis, focused on the tomb of the founder of the Mevlana order, Jelaleddin Rumi, in the Mevlana Museum. Sema whirling dervish ceremonies take place at the Mevlana Cultural Center, east of the museum.
I visited there when I was young with my mum and dad. He was a positive peaceful influence to Turks. I don’t believe in religions but I find Ottoman Sufi flute music (ney) soothing.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us…

It’s important to note that the western translations of Rumi’s poetry in the western world is westernized and all references to his spirituality and religion is simply removed in the translations.
