Top 10 Best Rumi Quotes

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (1207–1273), known simply as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, mystic, and Sufi master. Born in Balkh (present-day Afghanistan) and later settled in Konya (modern-day Turkey), Rumi’s teachings transcended religion, language, and time. After meeting the wandering mystic Shams of Tabriz, Rumi’s life transformed. Their spiritual friendship sparked an outpouring of poetic ecstasy and mystical longing, giving birth to some of the world’s most beloved spiritual poetry. His major work, the “Masnavi”, is often called the “Qur’an in Persian,” and his verses explore love as a divine force, the soul’s longing, and union with the Beloved. Today, Rumi is one of the most-read poets in the world, especially cherished for his timeless messages of love, transformation, and unity.
