TEHRAN, Jan.15 (ISNA)-Iran's non state-run "Rumi Home" association director, Mehdi Meigani informed that the association was determined to register Shams Shrine in Khoy as one of world cultural heritage sites in the UNESCO.


"We can do this by hosting an international conference and therefore provide the necessary terms for registering Shams Shrine in world cultural heritage list," stated Meigani.


"Considering the fact that the death of Shams occurred in Khoy, the "Rumi Home" association has called for comments of viewers on the association's website entitled "Where is the Tomb of Shams?" to represent their articles and views and back up the issue," he added.


"We want to discuss Shams and Rumi worldwide so that the culture and mysticism of shams would be restored to the world," he said.


Shams of Tabriz (Persian, Shams-e-Tabrizi) who is estimated to have died at 1248 AD was an Iranian Sufi mystic born in the city of Tabriz in Iran. He is responsible for initiating Mawlana Jala ad-din Mohammad Rumi, usually known as Rumi in the West, into Islamic mysticism, and is immortalized by Rumi's poetry collection)"The Works of Shams of Tabriz" (Persian, Divane Shamse Tabrizi). Shams lived together with Rumi in Konya, in present-day Turkey, for several years, and is also known to have travelled to Damascus in present-day Syria.

After several years with Rumi, Shams vanished from the pages of history quite suddenly. Although it is not known what became of him after his departure from Rumi, his gravesite is in a remote region of the Karakorams in Northern Pakistan at a place called Ziarat not far from the village of Shimshall. Rumi's love for Shams, and his bereavement at his death, found expression in an outpouring of music, dance, and lyric poems. Rumi himself left Konya and went out searching for Shams, journeying as far as Damascus before realizing that Shams and himself were, in fact, "one and the same"

As the years passed, Rumi attributed more and more of his own poetry to Shams as a sign of love for his departed friend and master. Indeed, it quickly becomes clear in reading Rumi that Shams was elevated to a symbol of God's love for mankind, and that Shams was a sun ("Shams" is Arabic for "sun") shining the Light of God on Rumi.

The Tomb of Shams of Tabriz in Khoy, Iran, which will be renovated to become a widely-visited tourist destination. The border city of Khoy with a population of 356,000 is located 130 km to the north of Orumiyeh, the capital of West Azarbaijan province.
