Hi. Iranian here. Just to give you a perspective of how amazing Mowlana (known to westerners as Rumi) is, always remember that about of 80% of his linguistic cleverness is lost when translated from Persian to other languages, and his poetry still sounds out of this world. Reading it in the original Persian will make you lose your mind. If you really love his work, I definitely recommend you to learn Persian, and other contexts on Tasavof etc. You'll unlock an another world, reading his poetry in Persian. And after that, you can read many more classical poetry in Persian, like Hafiz, Sa'di, Ferdowsi, etc (the list is really long.) I hope one day, Persian language and literature will be more available as a curriculum in schools around the world.

We studied that one of the fundamentals of philosphy is, regarding contradictions, a statement and its denial cannot both be true at the same time, and then when you study Mollana you understand that, to quote Tagore, the contradiction of existence merge themselves and are lost in love; Only in love are unity and duality not at variance. Love must be one and two at the same time.... and so in the context of love....this is true and in the context of this world no two contradictory statements can be true at once... that field Mollana is talking about is the united field of love!

Fun fact: "Rumi" is his alias which translates to "the Roman". This is because during those times, Middle Eastern peoples referred to Anatolia as "Al Rum", meaning "Rome". And since Rumi was living in Anatolia when he got especially popular, he was referred to as such.

It's important to note that Rumi was a devout muslim his entire life. Once his poetry got introduced to the west, they have tried to detach him (and continue to do so) from his religion. HIs original works is not in English so when it is translated, it is secularized to leave out any mention of Religion or his deep roots to his faith, a truly sinister act.

Mowlana was just one of the many Persian poets. There are many more that talked about spirituality from different angles. Each had different philosophies to follow. Hafez is another one that is very respected globally as well. Gothe (German poet) was in love with his poetry. Iranians still use his poetry for fortune telling. Saadi Carnot (The scientist who defined second law of thermodynamics) was name Saadi, because his dad loved Saadi's (Persian Poet) poetry. Current Farsi language owes a lot to Saadi as many our current proverbs are taken out of his book Golestan. Ferdowsi wrote an epic, that is basically out unregistered history, and is very well known in Russia.

Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.

I am not sure what you are talking about, but in Arabic it's "Shams".

His poems are so beautiful and lovely while in persian, but when they translate it it's like something is missing. The original poems have some sort of unique holy happiness.

As a big fan of this channel I feel like I just have to say I'm kinda disappointed you didn't read the poems in its original language the translation made it shallow. Would have been so much better if the translation was written rather than doing the opposite especially that I noticed you love to hire native VA. Anyway, this is AMAZING video and really you can tell a lot of effort was put in it. Thank you!

@makeracistsafraidagain 2 месяца назад

You are unlikely to find love swiping left and right. Or where alcohol is sold. Your best bet is to go out into the world where you can meet people. Sober. Most of my family and friends met their spouses in college. I did.

If you can find it within (yourself, the Universe, God/Divine...) you'll never be without. And if others can share it, it will be far, far better for all involved.

At 2:03, the idea of reunification with God is mentioned. It's important to clarify that in Islam, the concept of merging with God is considered contrary to the core teachings of Tawhid (the oneness of God), which is why it is viewed as the Greatest Sin. Rumi, while renowned for his profound and influential poetry, was associated with Extreme Sufism, and holds views and practices considered unorthodox by all Muslim scholars. thus labeling him as kafir.

@ghiathshaheen8708 2 месяца назад

Great point

@mahaduzumaki6643 2 месяца назад

This is false. Rumi was held in great regard by many islamic scholars. His poetry is sometimes vague and some people misinterpret his views. Rumi himself was an islamic scholar who held orthodox views following the Hanafi madhab.

@ahmaddotpk 2 месяца назад

Your perspective is appreciated. But please do not paint your personal/regional opinion as representative of majority of the Muslims world. Jazak-Allah.

@Sirde_Sigma 2 месяца назад

Incorrect almost all scholars at his time were Sufis, in fact many Islamic countries state religion is Sufism, you are confused with Wahhabism which is a minority sect but has the loudest voice, their voice is only loud because a Sufi isn’t meant to raise his voice for the truth to be heard

A little remark. The original poem "Leyli and Majnun" was written by great Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi in 12th century who was born and lived in my home town Ganja then (the poem was wriiten in persian because then Azerbaijan was part of the Persian cultural sphere, thats why some people consider Nizami as persian poet)
