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.
