description: Western culture has no convenient category for Melvlana Jelaluddin Rumi. In the Islamic world he is held in the highest esteem not only as a literary figure, but as a saint whose personal example inspired the founding of a major religious order, and as a philosopher whose elaboration of the cosmic sense of Love has had a significant cultural impact.
