Over the years, I have witnessed with delight the rising popularity of his poetry in the Western world. A major part of my life has been spent abroad'in India, Japan, and the United States'and in all these countries, Rumi has been a spiritual companion to me. Thirty years ago, when I left my homeland, I took a few Persian poetry books with me, and one of them was of course Rumi's. I first learned about Rumi's poetry in my Persian textbooks as a young boy growing up in Iran. "Garden of Secrets: The Real Rumi."

The main idea was to embody ascending from this mundane world to a spiritual one by withdrawing and letting go of the earthy attachments. The tomb space is located in the middle section and establishes a movement from square (symbol of the earth and corpus) to circle (symbol of the sky and the spirit). The monument’s floor plan has been divided into three square-shaped sections each connected through a connecting hallways. The circular movement through the spiral ramp exemplifies the Sufi`s sacred dance.

The monument has two skins a circular perforated copper outer skin and a solid concrete interior wall with a spiral ramp running through these two skins. Rows of cedar trees and memorial walls on both sides of the Shams Boulevard create aesthetically pleasing sceneries.
Shams Monument was designed in form of a Garden-Tomb, which provide possibilities for visitors to leisurely walk around the tomb and the historical site to learn about Shams and Persian poetry. Shams Tabriz Monument is a cultural complex built to house Shams’ tomb and become a center for Sema ceremonies.
