 | | His father, Muhammad Baha al-Din al-Siddiqi, was part of the tenth generation of the descendants of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the first caliph of Islam. |
 | | In fact, I think Rumi’s heart-felt relations with the spirit of religion and his being a faultless representative and living interpretation of the way and etiquette of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, cannot allow others to say anything against him. |
 | | Rumi, the Master, on the one hand, had a specific intimate relationship with the world of the unseen, but on the other hand, especially as far as his relationship with people was concerned, he never promoted any sense that he was greatly different; this was because of his utmost sincerity and humility. |
