About this book
Creators: Maulana Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273) and Sir James W. Redhouse (1811-1892) [Translator] "The Mesnevi" by Maulana Jalal al-Din Rumi is a Persian poetic work written between 1258 and 1273. Comprising six books with approximately 25,000 verses, this spiritual masterpiece guides Sufis toward divine love through stories, parables, and Islamic wisdom. Drawing from the Quran, hadith, and everyday tales, each narrative illuminates mystical truths about the soul's journey. Regarded by many as the greatest mystical poem in world literature, it remains unfinished—Rumi died before completing the final book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
