Summary

The 13th-century Muslim mystic and poet Rumi has long shaped Muslims around the world and has now become popular in the West. Rumi created a new language of love within the Islamic mystical tradition of Sufism. We hear his poetry as we delve into his world and listen for its echoes in our own. Krista Tippett interviewed Fatemeh Keshavarz on January 17, 2007. This interview is included in the show “The Ecstatic Faith of Rumi.” See more at onbeing.org/program/ecstatic-faith-rumi/189
