Masnavi; The Poetry of Rumi Farsi Book

The author of “Masnavi” is Jelaluddin Rumi. Masnavi is the name of a book of poetry by Maulana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, an Iranian poet and mystic. Masnavi consists of 26,000 verses and 6 Chapters and is one of the best books of ancient Persian mystical literature and Persian wisdom after Islam. Although before Rumi, other poets such as Sanai and Attar also used the poetic form of Masnavi, but Rumi’s Masnavi has a higher level. In this book, 424 consecutive stories are told in an allegorical way, the story of man’s difficulties in reaching God. This book has been selected by the Guardian as one of the top 100 books in the history of mankind. Rumi’s Masnavi, like most Sufi Masnavi, mainly uses “anecdote” as a tool to express the teachings of Sufism. If you are looking for Masnavi By Rumi in Farsi, this book can be a good choice.
