In addition to his significance as a thinker, Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī stands as one of the foremost poets of mystical literature, whose universal ideas have continued to influence societies from his own era to the present. In his works, Rūmī exhibits a sensitivity toward diverse segments of society, calling for coexistence based on unity, harmony, and peace. His writings have shaped perspectives on human existence, spirituality, and ethics across cultures from East to West, and continue to inspire scholarship and thought today. This study provides a concise overview of Rūmī's contributions, focusing on his understanding of love, his perspective on the human self (nafs), and his educational approach aimed at guiding individuals toward inner transformation, ethical awareness, and spiritual peace. Drawing on selected texts, particularly the Masnavī and the Dīwān-i Kabīr, this analysis examines how Rūmī addresses human nature and metaphysical concepts and explores his role in encouraging individuals to attain self-awareness and cultivate a deeper understanding of love as a path to divine unity.
