Come, come no matter what you are, A polytheist, fire-worshipper or idolater, Our dervish convent is not the assembly of hopelessness Come, even though you have broken Your repentance a hundred times. --------------- Rumi represents a guide for humanity's quest for the perfection of human qualities. He was a careful exegete of the truths presented in the Qur'an. A fluent interpreter of love and zeal for Prophet Muhammed, Rumi was able to use a mysterious language to guide others to a love of Allah. Those who enter his sphere are able to reach an ultimate sense or feeling in the presence of Allah. ------------------- The love, relationship, and warmth toward all creation as expressed by Rumi is a projection of a deeply-rooted divine love. Rumi, whose nature was intoxicated by the cup of love, embraced all of creation with a projection of that love. He was involved in a dialogue with every creature, and all of these were a result of nothing but his deep love of Allah and his relationship with the Beloved.
