The Shorttest Way to Gos (Is Through) Love (Especially in Jalaladdin al-Rumi)

Abstract

In this paper I will try to present the way to love and its peculiarities as the Sufis interpret it with reference to Hujwīrī (d. 1077), Najmaddin al-Kubrā (d. 1221) and specially Mawlānā Jalāl al-dīn al-Rūmī (d. 1273). My purpose is to understand the subject according to the views of the historians, the intellectuals and the academics.
