Mawlana-Jalal-al-din-Rumi emerged in the 13th century as an apostle of tolerance long before the development of Renaissance humanism and many centuries prior to the European Enlightenment. His was a light of spirituality thrusting from the darkness of the Medieval Age towards a new type of humanism.
His teachings encompassed the ideas of tolerance, urging human beings to respect each other's faiths, ideals, orientations, cultural values, and developing the ability to get along despite divisions of nationality and religion.
