Discover the richness of Rumi's spiritual tradition—through
facing-page commentary that brings his writings to life for you.
"This book you are now holding is a selection of what I believe are
the best of Rumi’s accounts of the compassionate actions,
sayings, and qualities of the Prophet, which include Rumi’s own
inspired comments and explanations. It is my hope that you will be
surprised and uplifted by the profound wisdom that Jalaluddin Rumi
conveys through these stories and sayings." —from the Preface
This great Sufi poet and teacher can become a companion for your
own spiritual journey. The lyric and wisdom poetry of Mawlana
Jalaluddin Rumi has been an inspiration throughout the Middle East
and Asia for over seven hundred years. Recently, it has also become
popular in Western countries through translations and interpretive
poetic versions in English. But while popular renderings have
created the appreciation of Rumi the mystic, there is little
understanding today of the religious and spiritual traditions from
which the great mystic came. Rumi and Islam—Selections from His
Stories, Poems, and Discourses examines not the popularized Rumi of
universal love but the Sufi disciple whose works express deep
reverence for the Prophet Muhammad. Ibrahim Gamard focuses on
Rumi’s place within the Sufi tradition of Islam, as one of the
greatest Muslim followers of the Prophet Muhammed, and on the
Islamic foundations of his lover-Beloved mystical poetry. By
probing verse by verse Rumi’s spiritual teachings, Gamard
provides insight into the mystical side of the Qur’an and Islam,
a religion that holds a deep love of God at its core. Now you can
experience the profound and uplifting wisdom of Rumi even if you
have no previous knowledge of Sufism or Islam. This SkyLight
Illuminations edition presents the most important of Rumi’s
writings, mainly from the Mathnawi, with insightful yet unobtrusive
commentary that conveys how his teachings about the nature of love
for God and God’s love for us can increase our understanding of
Islamic wisdom in the West.
