Molana Jalal ud Din Roomi, the great Persian poet, Sufi mystic, and author of the Masnavi, was born in 1207 CE in Balkh, which is located in present-day Afghanistan. Later, due to the Mongol invasions, his family migrated westward and eventually settled in Konya (in modern-day Turkey), where he spent most of his life and gained the title "Rumi" meaning "from Roman Anatolia."
Jalal ud Din Muhammad Balkhi, popularly known as Rumi or Molana Roomi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic. His father, Bahauddin Walad, was a renowned theologian who decided to leave Balkh due to the approaching Mongol threat. Rumi's most famous work is the Masnavi-e-Ma'navi, often called the "Persian Quran" for its spiritual depth.
