From Sufism’s Sacred Fihi ma Fihi: Discourse of Rumi : 23

Rumi was a poetic genius, a theologian and an enlightened person, who was heir to the rich literary and cultural heritage of Persian, or ancient Iran, and composed his great mystical poems in the Persian language. In addition to his poetry, Rumi’s prose works, which include the Fihi ma Fihi (In It What’s in It), Majalese Sab’a (Seven sessions), and Maktubat (The Letters), also offer his sage insight and wisdom.
