Abstract

The paper analyses eschatological motifs in a few poems from Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī’s Dīvān. In them the poet integrates two seemingly disparate, perhaps antagonistic themes: the historicity of the Last Judgement, the end of all times, and the fundamental ahistoricity of the mystical experience. Rūmī handles the motif of the Resurrection and the Last Judgement as a poetic topos or as an allegory of the mystical experience, focusing on the tension and interaction between these two thematic elements.
