Abstract

The Prophet is the truth and following him awakens human beings and achieves human perfection. Such interpretations in Rumi's poems have shown him to be the end of creation and the manifestation of the perfect man. Rumi's school and way of life will never find meaning without love, and this love must be accompanied by the love of the Prophet. This love is a continuation of divine love and mysticism, and the goal of Rumi lies in this point.. Rumi considers the attainment of perfection and knowledge as well as happiness in following the Prophet and continuing his path. It should be noted that the image of this divine figure in Rumi's poems is completed with his miracles according to Quranic verses. Among the hospitality, nearness to the truth, intercession of God and God's creation, guidance of the Prophet are some of the things that have appeared in the light of Quranic interpretations in Rumi's poems. According to Rumi, it is not enough to accept the divine verses, including the verses related to the Prophet , but in the light of these verses and divine knowledge, one must believe in the miracles of the prophets, including the miracles of the Holy Prophet . It should be noted that the character of Prophet Mohammad is the beacon of the mystic and his miracles are like a stronghold that protects the mystic from danger.
