About The Author
Peter Washington
Rumi, born 1207, is considered a Persian mystic and poet closely identified with Sufism and Sufi mysticism. Sufism is a mysticism within Islam where devotees sought a mystical union with God. Rumi taught that “Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians should be viewed with the same eye,” and people from diverse faith backgrounds followed his funeral bier. His mausoleum, the Green Dome in Konya, is a pilgrimage site for many.
