Ibrahim Gulshani nazīra for Rumi's "Masnawī Mānawī" in the Context of Maulvi- Gulshani Relationship
Abstract
Renowned as one of the leading figures of Eastern culture, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi's multifaceted literary and mystical legacy has found its most positive reflection in literature. Those captivated by his philosophical thought system have preserved the magic of his words in their works and ideas. Drawing inspiration from the thinker's literary works, hundreds of independent works, commentaries (sharh), and abridgments have been written and translated into most of the world's languages. Rumi's masterpiece, "Masnawi," has established itself as a school of thought, revealing its value through those who guide their disciples and train students with its teachings. It has also earned a place in history as one of Eastern literature's most commented-on and emulated works. One of the extensive works inspired by "Masnawi" is "Manavi," nazira written by Ibrahim Gulshani, the founder of the Gulshan branch of the Khalwati order. Written in Persian with the same rhythm and structure, this work comprises 40,000 couplets. No comprehensive research has been conducted on this work, and the information presented about Gulshani in studies has been primarily descriptive. This article aims to compare "Masnawi" and "Manawi" within the context of the relationship between the Maulawi and Gulshani traditions.
