Book Description
Jalal Ad-Din Rumi, the towering light of Sufi wisdom is rightly known as Moulavi Ma'anavi, the gnostic scholar - in the Muslim world. He has been considered as the peak of spiritual excellence and insightful divine sagaciousness by the seekers of the inner meanings of words and worlds. Everyone with a genuine bend for true knowledge turns to Rumi, irrespective of caste and creed, to quench their thirst. When Rumi refers to Islam, he is talking about The way/. He is not talking about the preconceived notions that people have about Islam today, or even in his day, but the spiritual path itself and the religious tradition. Fihi Ma Fihi is the most famous prose work of Rumu. It's a collection of 71 discourses on various topics directly connected to everyday life. Rumi delivered these speeches to middle audience. The title of the book means 'In it what is in it' or 'It is what it is'. It is said that the Sultanul Walad, the eldest son of Rumi, compiled the speeches with the help of his other disciples, Rumi explains their important principles of Sufism in transparent terms in this book. Fihi Ma Fihi can be considered as a right introduction to Mathnavi. Fihi Ma Fihi provides explanations and keys to unlock the meaning of the Mathnavi. Rumi's most famous work. The two works were written parallel to each other, and contain many references and stories that are continued from one to the other.

The Book of Rumi

Author: Rumi
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing Company
ISBN: 157174746X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 206

Book Description
Philip Pullman, author of 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, has remarked that "after nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." This new collection of Rumi stories fills that need. This fresh prose translation of 105 short teaching stories by Rumi, which form the core of the six-volume Masnavi, explores the hidden spiritual aspects of everyday experience. Rumi transforms the seemingly mundane events of daily life into profound Sufi teaching moments. These prose gems open the mystical portal to the world of the ancient mystic. These stories include well-known and popular tales such as "Angel of Death," "The Sufi and His Cheating Wife," "Moses and the Shepherd," "Chickpeas," and "The Greek and Chinese Painters" as well as the less commonly quoted parables: "The Basket Weaver," "The Mud Eater," and "A Sackful of Pebbles." Rumi's voice alternates between playful and authoritative, whether he is telling stories of ordinary lives or inviting the discerning reader to higher levels of introspection and attainment of transcendent values. Mafi's translations delicately reflect the nuances of Rumi's poetry while retaining the positive tone of all of Rumi's writings, as well as the sense of suspense and drama that mark the essence of the Masnavi.
