“The world is nothing but a moment.”
Rumi
Rumi (1207–1273) was a Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic whose works have inspired readers worldwide for centuries. Born in present-day Afghanistan, he spent much of his life in Turkey, where he formed a deep spiritual bond with Shams of Tabriz, a relationship that profoundly influenced his poetry. Rumi’s verses celebrate love, unity, and the divine, blending spirituality with human experience. His most famous work, the Masnavi, is considered a masterpiece of Sufi literature. Today, Rumi is one of the best-selling poets globally, known for his timeless and universal messages.
