Consequences of "Samaa" in the Poetry of Rumi and Jaziri Moulana

Abstract

Samaa" represents a recent phenomenon in the Islamic mystical literature. "Samaa" is becoming more popular among those who follow Moulana's mystical teachings. This article explains how "Samaa" is important in mystical writings, serving as a powerful way to express deep feelings and spiritual encounters. It talks about how it can make people feel drawn to it or sometimes push them away, and how it can change them inside, often bringing them closer to the divine. Moulana's greatest gift to the Divan-e Shams is "Samaa," offering a profound way to discover truth and connect fully with the divine. His masterpiece, "The Mesnevi of Jaziri," is a standout example of ecstatic and mystical writing, reflecting the spirit of "Samaa" throughout, especially in poems like "The Ecstatic Dance" and "The Yearning." This study aims to explain how he uses this technique and what it means.

It also talks about the different kinds of Samaa gatherings and how they're connected. Then, in the second part, it compares how Moulana Rumi and Jaziri approach Samaa in their poetry, drawing conclusions and highlighting important points.
