魯米 (Rumi) was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic. Born in 1207 in present-day Afghanistan, he later settled in Konya, Turkey. His works, primarily written in Persian, explore themes of love, spirituality, and the connection between the human soul and the divine. Rumi's most famous work is the Masnavi, a six-volume poem that delves into the nature of existence and the pursuit of God. His poetry emphasizes the importance of love and compassion, transcending cultural and religious boundaries, making him one of the most celebrated poets in world literature.
