He also served as a Molvi (Islamic teacher) and taught his adherents in the madrassa. Rumi's public life then began: he became an Islamic Jurist, issuing fatwas and giving sermons in the mosques of Konya. For nine years, Rumi practised Sufism as a disciple of Burhan ud-Din until the latter died in 1240 or 1241. One of Baha' ud-Din's students, Sayyed Burhan ud-Din Muhaqqiq Termazi, continued to train Rumi in the Shariah as well as the Tariqa, especially that of Rumi's father. When his father died, Rumi, aged 25, inherited his position as the head of an Islamic school. Due to quarrels between different dynasties in KhorДЃб№ЈДЃn, opposition to the Khwarizmid Shahs who were considered devious by his father, BahДЃ ud-DД«n WДЃlad or fear of the impending Mongol cataclysm, his father decided to migrate westwards, eventually settling in the Anatolian city Konya, where he lived most of his life, composed one of the crowning glories of Persian literature, and profoundly affected the culture of the area.
