  • The primary history sources mention that Mevlana Rumi-originally from Balkh region of Afghanistan-got settled in Konya city of Anatolia (modern Turkey) at the invitation of the Seljuk Sultan Keykubad 1. After his father's death, Rumi took charge of Medressa in Konya and also served as a Qazi or Chief Jurisconsult.

    He adhered to Orthodox Sunni Hanafi Fiqh and the Maturidi Creed which he had championed all his life. Rumi also gave maximum support to the Seljuk Sultans by commissioning their Jihad against Christian Byzantine state while he spearheaded the efforts for the Islamization of Anatolia by employing many Sufistic cultural traditions such as the Whirling Dervish, Sufi Shrines, Sama (Qawali) and Dawah through his religious followers. The reality is that far from being a mere secular mystic poet, Rumi was the architect of a brilliant Islamic Civilization.

    These facts are established by majority primary sources. Howcome then Mevlana Rumi be a secularist or anti-Jihad individual? We all must smash the propaganda against Mevlana Jelal ud din Rumi who was a true Muhammadan.

  • Was Mevlana Rumi really an unorthodox & secular mystic? Refuting the ridiculous Orientalist propaganda against Rumi !

After his father's death, Rumi took charge of Medressa in Konya and also served as a Chief Jurisconsult. He adhered to Orthodox Sunni Hanafi Jurisprudence and the Maturidi Creed which he had championed all his life.

    Haji Bektash Veli (1209-1271) or Wali (in the Ottoman Turkish) : حاجی بکتاش ولی. – was a Muslim mystic, saint, Sayyid, and a Sufi Master who was born in Nishapur city of contemporary Khorasan and later migrated to Anatolia where he preached Islamic Faith to the Christian and Turkish masses.

    His original name was "Sayyid Muhammad ibn Sayyid Ibrāhim Ātā". He was one of the figures who flourished in the Sultanate of Rum and had an important influence on the Turkish nomads of Asia Minor. He is also referred to as the Sultan of Hearts and the Derwish of the Derwishes. Haji Bektash Veli was a descendant of Sayyidina Musa Al Kazim the Seventh Imam of Ahle Bayt (The Celestial Prophetic Household). And thus his lineage reached back to the Leader of the Youth of Paradise Sayyidina Hussain Ibn Ali, Noble Grandson of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

    Haji Bektash Veli is rightly considered one of the four poles (Aqtab) of Anatolia by all the Sufi Orders of Anatolia. With the rest being Mevlana Rumi, Shaban-i Veli, and Haji Bayram-i Veli May Allah have mercy upon all.

    These four greay Aqtab (singular Qutb a high ranked Sufi and Wali Allah) played a rather instrumental role in the Islamization of Asia Minor or modern Turkey. Selçuk rulers were able to exterminate the Byzantine power in Asia Minor however they cooperated with these great Sufi Masters for spreading Islam all over Anatolia using Sufi culture & Dawah (preaching).

    Today, Haji Bektash Veli is falsely perceived as some Alevi figure who had heterodox beliefs. This is a misnomer since the Alevis began to associate with Bektash longtime after he had passed away. Ibn Khallikan (1211 – 1282), was a 13th century Sunni Shafi'i Islamic scholar and historian who reports that the Shi'ite or Alevi tendencies belonged not to him but rather to some of his murids, who took refuge in his Tekke (Sufi Lodge at Suluca Kara Oyuk in Kirşehir. So, in reality Haji Bektash was a Sunni Saint and Sufi Master.

    The Ottoman Elite Corp Yeniçeri had a great attachment to Haji Bektash Veli whose name was invoked in official ceremonies. He was seen as the Spiritual Mentor of the Yeniçeri troops. For this reason few of the modern researchers falsely regard the Yeniçeri Corp and its troops to be Shia or Alevi in Faith. But this myth is easily debunked since Yeniçeri were always at the forefront of defending the Ottoman Sunni Creed. During the Safavid Twelver aggression in 1500s, Yeniçeri were alarmed of the dangers of forced spread of Shiaism by Safavid Shah Ismail and thus they supported and helped Ottoman Caliph Yavuz Selim 1 to secure the throne. After this a mighty Persian campaign was launched in which Ottoman military including Yeniçeris laid waste to Safavids at Chaldiran. This is an undeniable historical fact which proves that religious Orientation of Yeniçeris was Orthodox Sunnism same as Ottoman rulers.

    May Allah bestow mercy and blessings upon the soul of Sayyid Haji Bektash Veli. May the Divine Nur illumine his grave. Amin
