Rumi’s Early Life and Spiritual Journey Rumi was born into a family of scholars and mystics. His father, Baha al-Din Walad, was a well-respected theologian and jurist, whose teachings greatly influenced Rumi’s early education.

It was here that Rumi established himself as a scholar and teacher, following in his father’s footsteps.
