Data on jalaliddin rumi's life in the work "Sharhi Masnaviyi Mawlavi" by Ayyub

Abstract

The greatest didactic work of Mawlana Jalaliddin Rumi (120 7–1273) was "Masnaviyi Manaviy", and to understand it required a great deal of knowledge, so from the very beginning of this work, commentaries have been written on it. The play deals not only with religion and mysticism, but also with Rumi's life and work. Of course, there is more or less information about it in the comments. One such work is Ayyub's commentary on the six books of Jalaliddin Rumi's "Masnaviyi Manaviy". This work is stored in the fund of the Institute of Oriental Studies named after Abu Rayhon Beruni of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan under item number 2225/II. In the middle of the pages of the manuscript there is a Roman "Masnavi", in the margin there is a commentary of Ayyub "Sharhi Masnavi Mavlavi" in proportion to it. At the same time, the commentary explains some of the words, and tells stories about Rumi's life and his teachings. Some of the stories are narrated by the narrator himself. Others are interpreted on the basis of a specific source, such as the Quraan or "Manaqib al-Arifin ", and at the beginning of each commentary or story the source from which the information was obtained is noted. The narrator also narrated some of the stories on behalf of a person, and in this case the name of the person is clearly stated. In the article, these cases are classified separately and explained through examples. In the commentaries, the deeds of Mawlana, information about his relatives, Rumi is described not only as a poet, but also as the founder of the "Mawlawi" sect, a mature sage of his time, a saint who reached the highest peak of perfection. A study of Ayyub's commentary shows that he read many works on Rumi's life and work, worked with dictionaries, improved his religious and mystical knowledge, and collected information from previously written commentaries. Therefore, "Sharhi Masnavi Mavlavi" is one of the best sources of many other sources on the life and work of Rumi.
