Commentaries and complete translation of Rumi's Mathnawi  

The "Masnavi" is Rumi's greatest poetic work, composed during the last years of his life. He began it when he was between the ages of 54-57 [about 1258-1261]1 and continued composing its verses until he died in 1273 (with the last story remaining incomplete). It is a compendium of sufi stories, ethical teachings, and mystical teachings. It is deeply permeated with Qur'anic meanings and references. Rumi himself called the Masnavi "the roots of the roots of the roots of the (Islamic) Religion...  and the explainer of the Qur'an [wa huwa uSūlu uSūlu uSūlu 'd-dīn... was kashshāf al- Qur'ān] (Masnavi, Book I, Preface).
