Rumi: The Masnavi – Book One, authored by Jawid Mojaddedi Jalal Al-Din Rumi, is a brilliant English translation of the first book of Rumi’s Masnavi. Summary of the Book About 44,000 verses are believed to have been compiled in 23 volumes by Rumi’s disciples in the Sufi order, when he started speaking instinctively in the language of poetry. Jawid Mojaddedi Jalal Al-Din Rumi has brought out the first book of Masnavi in English. Rumi’s thoughts are bare truths, and brutally honest in their nature. Some are as delicate as rose petals too. This book brings out his simple, yet consummate thoughts about transforming our boundless consciousness from the entrenched habits and ways of life into new and liberating ones. Masnavi is called The Koran in Persian. A must have for all those who follow Rumi. About Jawid Mojaddedi Jalal Al-Din Rumi Jawid Mojaddedi Jalal Al-Din Rumi is an esteemed scholar.
