We write more in Tasawwuf of Islam. We try to enrich the islamic knowledge by translating documents which are not found in the internet. Majority of the documents put on our website includes the works of waliullahs. We do not endorse a sufism or tasawwuf exceeding the boundaries of islam. The aim is to serve the real seekers to find their way in this desert of life. May Allah and His Rasul help us to find our way, inshaallah.

Best book of Rumi K.S is his Mathnawi which have been translated in to many languages. If it is analysed deeply, you will find the tafseer of Qur’an in it. Volumes of this book needs to be read parallel with Qur’an to be able to understand what it tells you. Rumi (K.S)’s poetry books are also nice but will not give you as much as Mathnawi will explain to you when the stories are reflected upon carefully. The reason for it is some poems can not be translated or commented because they reflect the state of the auliyah at that moment. Many people in the internet keep talking about “Love poems” of Rumi (K.S) or “Drinks and rubais” of Omar Khayyam(K.S).

Their sayings can not be known very easily as they speak about the batini(inner) meanings of things. They watch the inner(Batin) from the outer(Zahir) and say their sayings in a spiritually drunk state. That is why , a person reading their poems will not understand much from what they are saying. They only themselves will know better what they are looking at that moment. But their poems sound nice to our nafs, heart and spirit and fill us with courage and love of Allah and His Rasul. So they can motivate us to walk through this desert by inspiring us.

Verily the best speech is the speech of Allah and His Rasul comes after Him. So Qur’an and sahih hadiths are our main resource to feed from. For Rumi’s masnawi and some of his other literary works please follow the articles in this website: http://www.semazen.net/eng/index.php
That site belongs to mawlawees.

For Bawa Muhaiyaddeen(K.S)’s works please go to google book read section and type Bawa Muhaiyaddeen there and all his books will be available in free view. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen’s “Golden Words of a Sufi Sheikh”, “To die before death”, “Hajj, inner journey”, “Fast of Ramadan” are some of his books that I read and loved.
We are making a group to translate Dr.Munir Derman (K.S)’s works in to English. I translated some of his works and opened a category called Dr.Munir Derman here. I would suggest that you should read them carefully. You will find a brief of his biography here. I will put interesting articles from him once we translate new articles to English. His knowledge in islam is magnificient and helps you to understand Islam better.
