“There is a loneliness more precious than life. There is a freedom more precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God

[Allaah Kareem].”

Major Works

Hazrat Maulana Jalaal ud deen Ruumi

(Rahmatul Laahi ‘Alaieh)’s mother tongue was Persian, but acquired knowledge of Arabic as a child while learning to read and recite the Qur’aan. Following his family’s migration to Anatolia, he also learnt Turkish. His intimate knowledge of these languages is reflected in his writings, which although written mainly in Persian contain passages in Arabic and Turkish. His three major works are generally referred to as the Masnavi, Divaan-i Shams-i Tabrzi, and the Fihi Maa Fihi.

Masnavi (Persian: مثنوی معنوی‎, meaning

"Rhyming Couplets of Profound Spiritual Meaning") was the result of his disciple  initial request for Maulana Ruumi to write a short ‘teaching’ poem. It takes the form of an extended poem, 25,577 verses long, and comprises six books, each with a prose introduction. It is an exceptional work, not only in length but also in style and content, for it blends traditional tales, parables, anecdotes and legends about the Soofie saints with stories about the prophets, and commentaries on the Prophetic Traditions and passages from the Qur’aan. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest works of Soofie poetry.
