1. He lived most of his life in the Seljuk Empire.
2. He did most of his work while living in the Seljuk Empire.
3. He died in Konya (in present-day Turkey).
4. After Rumi's death, his followers founded the Mevlevi Order, better known as the "Whirling Dervishes".
"Rumi's importance transcends national and ethnic borders. Speakers of the Persian language in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan see him as one of their most significant classical poets and an influence on many poets through history. He has also had a great influence on Turkish literature throughout the centuries."
