The Influence of Sufi Thoughts on Rumi's Philosophy

This study explores the impact of Sufism on Rumi's writings. Living in the golden era of Persian Sufism, Rumi was immersed in Sufi traditions from his teachers Baha' al-Din Walad and great mystics like Ibn Arabi. His poetry, especially Masnavi, incorporates rich Sufi concepts through allegories and symbolism. Works address topics like love, spiritual journey, stages of traveler, and unity with the Divine. Rumi advocated balancing internal practices with sharia observance. While some offered superficial critiques, most scholars recognize Rumi's unique synthesis of theology, mysticism and philosophy. Analysis of primary texts shows how his style emphasizes Sufi ideas including annihilation of ego and unity of all existence. Rumi's works continue inspiring generations with their profound mystical messages and remain celebrated across cultures.
