Kimya Khatun: the mystic & the dove الإنجليزية 2002

A tale from Rumi's life. Thirteenth century Konya is home to Jalaleddin Muhammad Balkhi, the world renowned Persian poet, jurist, theologian and sufi mystic and his stepdaughter, Kimya. This is not only a tale that seeks to uncover the fundamental nature of love and pain through the transformation of a man whose poetry and philosophy became eternal, but it also dwells upon the downfall and deterioration of the prospects of a notable and affluent family through a second marriage, marriage of beauty and class, to a man who lived simply and who the world has come to know as Rumi. Rumi was and is revered by his disciples even to this day, but what did go on when His Holiness, the beloved cleric, journeyed to become what the name Rumi, the ground-breaking mystic, signifies today?
