Come, come no matter what you are,

A polytheist, fire-worshipper or idolater,

Our dervish convent is not the assembly of hopelessness

Come, even though you have broken

Your repentance a hundred times.

Rumi represents a guide for humanity’s quest for the perfection of human qualities. He was a careful exegete of the truths presented in the Qur’an. A fluent interpreter of love and zeal for Prophet Muhammed, Rumi was able to use a mysterious language to guide others to a love of Allah. Those who enter his sphere are able to reach an ultimate sense or feeling in the presence of Allah.

The love, relationship, and warmth toward all creation as expressed by Rumi is a projection of a deeply-rooted divine love. Rumi, whose nature was intoxicated by the cup of love, embraced all of creation with a projection of that love. He was involved in a dialogue with every creature, and all of these were a result of nothing but his deep love of Allah and his relationship with the Beloved.
