About This Website
This website explores the enduring spiritual legacy of Jalal ad-Din Rumi and his foundational role in shaping Sufi philosophy. Rumi articulated a path of love, annihilation of the ego (fanāʾ), and inner awakening that moved Islamic spirituality from formalism toward lived transformation. Through poetry, music, and devotion, he presented Islam not as a system of labels, but as a journey of the heart—one that seeks unity beyond form and awakens the soul to its divine origin.
Central to this project is Rumi’s prophetic insight regarding Bahá’u’lláh. In Rumi’s vision of progressive revelation, divine truth appears again and again in new forms suited to humanity’s evolving capacity. His language of renewal, resurrection, and the return of the eternal Light resonates deeply with Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings on the unity of religions and the oneness of humankind, offering a bridge between classical Sufism and a global spiritual horizon.
Rumi also revived and transmitted Hekmat-e Khosravani (the ancient Persian wisdom of light), integrating it seamlessly into Islamic mysticism. By emphasizing illumination, inner kingship, and the primacy of love, he helped restore the universal meaning of Islam as surrender to Truth rather than attachment to form. Rumi and Bahá’u’lláh is a space for open conversation—an invitation to readers, seekers, and lovers of Rumi to share reflections, exchange perspectives, and explore how these teachings continue to illuminate our shared spiritual journey today.
