STUDY OF JALAL AD-DIN RUMI’S EDUCATIONAL AND MORAL VIEWS AND PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIS WORKS

Abstract

This article analyzes the educational and moral views of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi from a pedagogical perspective. The research is conducted on the basis of the main primary sources of Rumi’s works — Masnavi Ma‘navi, Fihi Ma Fihi, and Divan-e Kabir — and highlights the ideas of human upbringing, moral perfection, teacher–student relationships, and self-education promoted in these works. Through pedagogical analysis, the article substantiates the importance of the unity of knowledge and morality in the educational process, as well as the priority of the principles of love and freedom in upbringing. In addition, studies by Eastern and Western scholars on Rumi’s heritage are comparatively analyzed, revealing the universal and contemporary significance of the thinker’s pedagogical views. The research results demonstrate that Rumi’s educational and moral ideas have significant theoretical and practical value in developing spiritual and moral education in the modern education system.
