The elder brother of Mawlana Jalal al-Din Rumi; he died young in Larende (Karaman) during the family's migration and was buried there together with their mother Mümine Hatun. The Karaman Mevlevihane (Aktekke / Mâder-i Mevlânâ) was founded on the site of these graves; no firm death year is recorded (undated), and he must not be confused with Mawlana's same-named son Alaeddin Çelebi (d.1262, buried in Konya).
