Abstract

Purpose: The rituals of the wanderers are one of the symbolic applications of mysticism. The purpose of this research is to show the means of execution that include special devices and become symbolic tools and are performed in accordance with Rumi’s unifying teachings. Other ceremonies include rotational, musical, and verbal manifestations, among which the Dervish Sama ceremony, as it is performed today, is greatly inspired by Rumi’s mystical teachings. Such mystical applications can be easily observed and felt in conjunction with the symbolic structure and unique architecture of the Shams Tabrizi Minaret and its correspondence with the rotation of the stars around the sun. Therefore, this research is based on two questions: 1. What effect can the manifestation of the mystical manifestations of Rumi's teachings have in spiritual places? 2. How can the mystical perspective be overlapped with the architecture of the Shams-Tabrizi Minaret from the threefold perspective of Hegel's art and his "absolute spirit"?
Findings and Conclusions: The main result of the research reveals that the mystical practical applications of this religious ritual are influenced by the richness of Rumi's works, which have beautifully created a historical space in accordance with Hegel's artistic views on the role of various architectural forms in the Shams-Tabrizi Minaret and its expansion with his "spirit of the times".
Method and Research: The data of this research have been compiled in a descriptive-analytical manner and the connection between architecture and practical manifestations and the appearance of symbols and signs in mystical and traditional spaces has been examined.
