"Jelaluddin Rumi was born in 1207 and until the age of thirty-seven was a brilliant scholar and popular teacher. But his life changed forever when he met the wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz, of whom Rumi said, "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being." From this mysterious and esoteric friendship came new heights of spiritual enlightenment. When Shams disappeared, Rumi began his transformation from scholar ..."

""Mystics of Islam" is one of the earlier works to ever treat upon the subject of magic and practices within the Sufi context. As a broad academic overview, it nonetheless delves deep into the subject. From the whirling dervishes to the concept of fana and far more, Sufi spirituality is here detailed, differentiated from main-line islamic theology, and its historical basis and then-modern materials expounded upon from the days of its bir ..."
"The poetry of Rumi is in two parts. The first part is his ecstatic and fiery love poetry. It is a passionate description of the state of awareness he reached after integrating the lessons he and Shams discovered and shared during their time together. This work, which Rumi referred to as the collection of Shams Tabrizi, is a group of poems which give flight to the human spirit in their beautiful and reassuring messages of hope. Many sele ..."
