Rumi
Rumi (1207–1273) was a Sufi mystic, poet, and founder of the Islamic brotherhood known as the Mevlevi Order. Rumi is an influential figure in Sufism, and his thought and works loom large both in Persian literature and mystic poetry in general. Rumi’s best-known work is the six-volume poem The Masnavi.
Presented by Aun Hasan Ali, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies, Religious Studies
