The Poetry of Rumi
The Fourth Tuesday of each month
Next Session is July 22, 2025
Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī or simply Rumi was a 13th-century poet and Sufi mystic born during the Khwarazmian Empire. Like others in Persian literature, Rumi’s poetry speaks of love which infuses the world. His teachings also express the tenets summarized in the Quranic verse which Shams-e Tabrizi cited as the essence of prophetic guidance: “Know that ‘There is no god but He,’ and ask forgiveness for your sin” (Q. 47:19): – To seek knowledge of tawhid (oneness of God), while negate one’s own existence. We invite you to join us once per month to explore his poetry together.
