Jalal ad-Din Rumi, commonly known just as Rumi, was a Persian Sunni Muslim poet, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic whose works, written in the thirteenth century, are popular throughout the world today. Translator Nader Khalili (1936 -2008) was a world-renowned Iranian-American architect, author, humanitarian, and teacher. Khalili was also the founder and director of the California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture (Cal-Earth). Khalili was raised by the poetry of Rumi. As a child, his grandmother would recite Rumi's poetry to lull him to sleep. He later developed a passion for studying and translating Rumi's works. Rumi's poetry also became an intrinsic part of Khalili's architectural career. Inspired by the mystical poetry of Rumi, his architecture was distilled from the timeless principles of this universe and its timeless materials-the elements of earth, air, water, and fire.

Reviews for The Spiritual Poems of Rumi: Translated by Nader Khalili

The Spiritual Poems of Rumi is of those book that tell you truths you should have known all along but that, for some reason, are not that clear enough…I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to challenge their basic understandings about spirituality, what it means to be a spiritual person, and that wants a thought-provoking reading. * Patheos, A Modern Day Sha'ir *
