“My BelovedKnow that my beloved in hidden from everyoneKnow that she is beyond the belief of all beliefsKnow that in my heart she is as clear as the moonKnow that she is the life in my body and in my soul”

Jalaluddin Rumi was a 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic. His works, including the *Masnavi* and *Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi*, blend spiritual insight with vivid imagery, exploring love, divine unity, and human connection. The *Masnavi* remains a cornerstone of Sufi literature, celebrated for its poetic depth and philosophical richness.
