Page 13 - Is Rumism a Threat ?

Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) 11

INTRODUCTION

The name Mevleviyya brings to many people's minds an order that
was established in Anatolia, flourished under the leadership of Mawlana
Jalal ad-Din Rumi and has influenced millions of people worldwide. Most
people are of the opinion that Mevleviyya preaches love, humanity and
brotherhood. Their knowledge about the order is only limited to Sheb-i
Arus [Wedding Night] ceremonies. However, a closer examination through
a discerning eye reveals a different situation.
Mawlana Rumi's books are widely known as Islamic works, but many
people are not aware of the fact that these books include immoral parts,
which contradict the Qur'an and might lead to serious societal moral
degeneration. Here, it should be mentioned that these chapters, which are
in contradiction with the Qur'an as we will discuss in detail in the follow-
ing chapters, might have been added later to Rumi's books, written by
someone else, and Rumi might have been completely unaware of all these
statements. However, in the end, the books printed, published, distributed
and quoted under the name of Rumi includes chapters depicting a philos-
ophy and a lifestyle that is in complete contradiction with the Qur'an.
