Mausoleum of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi in Konya by Jens Helmstedt
“When you see my funeral don´t say: What for a separation.
It is time for me to meet the lover…”
Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, the great islamic mystical philosopher, who lived and taught in 13th century in the city of Konya in Middle Anatolia, Turkey, died on December 17 in the year 1273. This day is named as “Şeb-i-Arus”, what means literally translated “wedding night”. Every year December 17 is a special day in Konya, when hundreds of people come together at the tomb of Mevlana to speak “Dua” (petitionary prayer).
