Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad (Molavi) was one of those people who, since childhood, had always had a different and deconstructive view toward life, creation, beliefs, thought, and anything related to these concepts.
The moment he reached relative maturity in thought and worldview in social life, he surpassed all the enforced contracts and frames.
He breathed life into words to breathe life into both worlds. Words that broke the shackles of the world and went beyond all boundaries.
