Keywords:
Masnavi, philosophy, Rumi, sufi poetry, sufismAbstract
Rumi was one of the most famous Sufi, poet, and spiritual teachers who have globally drawn the attention of many. Rumi's teachings have been valued and used by Sufi masters after him, and are studied in contemporary mystic circles. Not only Sufis, but others as well refer to his teachings for lessons, and those who enjoy poetry are intoxicated by Rumi's magical words. He views that, humans tend to move upwards to realize their potential. Rumi’s poetry whether or not is the result of his ecstatic moment is a reflection of his close relationship with people around him. Despite his greatness as a scholar, he always mingled with society, listened to their sharing, and advised them to solve the problem. This interaction created a paradigm that enabled him to see things as a whole, in an interactional way that is interconnected as a harmony. Thus, this paper attempts to review and analyze Rumi’s life and his contributions in the fields of spirituality and philosophy.
