Mevlana Studies in Azerbaijan: A Historical and Scientific Review

Abstract

Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi (Molānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī), as the founder of a widely spread school of thought in the Islamic world, has influenced numerous cultures. Through his teachings, he advocated for the spiritual development, Divine love, and mystical enlightenment of humanity. His legacy holds significant importance not only as a poet and philosopher but also as a guide, mentor, and spiritual leader in the history of mankind. In Azerbaijan, Mevlana studies are focused on the examination of Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi’s philosophy, literary heritage, Sufi thought, and mystical worldview. Mevlana promoted the spiritual development and Divine love of humanity, and his legacy holds a significant place in the history of mankind, not only as a poet and philosopher but also as a spiritual guide. Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi’s philosophy has had a profound influence on literature and the arts, also playing a significant role in the development of Azerbaijani literature. His impact began to be felt strongly from the 14th to the 16th centuries and continued into the 19th and 20th centuries in Azerbaijani literature. Mevlana studies also examine the place and influence of this philosophical heritage within Azerbaijani culture. The article thoroughly examines the history and development of Mevlevi Studies in Azerbaijan. It also investigates the scientific research conducted in this field, the influence of Mevlevi thought on Azerbaijani culture and literature, ongoing discussions within academic circles, and efforts to preserve the Mevlevi heritage.

Evaluation Process
Academic studies submitted to the Journal of Scientific Mysticism and Literature are primarily pre-evaluated by the editorial board in compliance with the journal's focus and scope. The suitable studies are then transferred to the field editor and sent to the double referee for field evaluation. The double-masked peer review application is valid, and the referee cannot see the information of the academic study owners. Reviewers are given 30 days to complete their review for formality and originality.
As a result of the reports from the referees:
1. Accepting the application (no editing needed),
2. Minor editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the minor corrections specified),
3. Major editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the essential corrections indicated),
3. Reject application (if the writing is substandard)
It must specify one of its options. In case of an "accept the application" or a "reject the application" evaluation from the
referees, the article is sent to a third referee to be examined for formality and originality. Then, all evaluations on the subject are sent to the author. A stylistic change may be requested if the language or writing style is substandard. The editorial board makes the final decision regarding the publication of the studies.
Authors are advised to download and review all evaluation forms (form and content pre-evaluation, field editor, and referee forms) used by the journal to guide them while writing their article proposals.
Before the author receives final approval for their articles, they must complete the commitment or declaration of originality form (Form 1.a) and send it to the journal editor.
