MAULANA'S LOVE AND DEVOTION FOR PROPHET MUHAMMAD Print
Ibrahim Emiroglu, PhD   

CONCLUSION

In his works, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi frequently mentions the prophets, their struggles, and their virtues. It can be seen that the love Maulana feels for Muhammad (pbuh) and the value and importance he gives to him among the prophets is superior to any other.

According to Maulana, Muhammad is a prophet whose name and worth is great in Allah’s presence. The Prophet came with a mission to guide and have people apply what is right, true, beautiful and good. In short, he was given the duty of saving people from the fire of ignorance.

As expressed in the Quran, even if Muhammad dies, the religion he conveyed will endure. Of course, providing many favors and blessings, Allah will protect His beloved prophet of mercy whom He chose and sent with a specific mission, and He will make his religion victorious.

Maulana saw it as necessary to love Muhammad and follow his path. He himself was a person profoundly devoted to Muhammad. He demonstrated this with his thought and lifestyle. His main base was the Quran and the Prophet’s life, and his main goal, as clearly expressed in his poetry and other works, was to live a life in harmony with these two sources. It is not possible to truly know Maulana without knowing his main resource and basic supports, the Quran and Muhammad.
