The primary essence of the Sufi path is a profound teaching about the human self and the levels of human consciousness of which Sufi Psychology is an integral component.
Sufi Psychology is a holistic path for anyone and everyone yearning for deeper transformation. We welcome seekers from all walks of life and all backgrounds of faith.
Are you seeking more than just techniques to manage your mind? Unlike modern psychology, Sufi psychology recognizes the transpersonal dimension of the human being. Rooted in the Qur’anic teachings about the levels of the self and the spiritual heart, and expounded upon the great Sufi masters, it is a science of consciousness which emphasizes the transformation of the ego-self leading to an awareness of one’s spiritual nature and an experience of Divine Unity.
To discover more about our upcoming Sufi Psychology 8-week online course, visit our website www.rumicenter.love or tap the link in our bio.
We look forward to welcoming you inshallah.

‘We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made.
In love we disappear.’

This Rabi al-Awwal, join poet and teacher @barakablue for a month-long journey into the life and character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — in order to draw near to the heart of the human being behind the message of Islam.
Each day, we will study a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ and meditate upon its meanings and implications for our lives. Through reflections and commentary, we will focus especially on his way with people: his tenderness with his companions, his mercy, his humor, his lightness of heart, and the way he brought joy and compassion even in the most trying circumstances.
This is an invitation to spend the month in the company of the Beloved ﷺ—to know him more deeply, love him more fully, and follow his beautiful example.

For Rumi and the great Sufi masters, love is more than mere sentiment. It is the very purpose of our existence, the path by which we become fully human, and the secret at the heart of the spiritual journey.
For the masters of this way, life itself is a school of love, and every encounter, longing, joy, and heartbreak is part of our education.
Join @barakablue for an exploration of Rumi’s teachings on the religion of love, the transformation of the heart, and what we came into this world to learn.
Comment “LOVE” and we’ll send you the link to join,
or visit rumicenter.love/events to register.

Rumi — Dīwān-i Shams, Ghazal 1535
بیا تا قدرِ یکدیگر بدانیم
که تا ناگه ز یکدیگر نمانیم
Come, let us recognize one another’s preciousness,
Before we suddenly find ourselves parted.
چو مؤمن آینهٔ مؤمن یقین شد
چرا با آینه ما روگرانیم؟
Since we know that the faithful are mirrors of one another,
Why do we turn our faces away from the mirror?
کریمان جان فدای دوست کردند
سگی بگذار، ما هم مردمانیم
The generous have offered their very lives for the Friend;
Let us cast off our baser ways—we too can become like them.
فسونِ قُلْ أَعُوذُ و قُلْ هُوَ اللَّه
چرا در عشقِ همدیگر نخوانیم؟
Why not recite Qul aʿūdhu and Qul huwa Allāh
As sacred words of love between us?
غرضها تیره دارد دوستی را
غرضها را چرا از دل نرانیم؟
Selfish motives darken friendship;
Why do we not drive them from our hearts?
گهی خوشدل شوی از من که میرم
چرا مرده‌پرست و خصمِ جانیم؟
At times you rejoice at the thought of my death;
Why do we honor the dead yet remain enemies of the living?
چو بعدِ مرگ خواهی آشتی کرد
همه عمر از غمت در امتحانیم
If you intend to make peace after my death,
Why must I suffer your estrangement throughout my life?
کنون پندار مُردم، آشتی کن
که در تسلیم، ما چون مردگانیم
Imagine that I have died already—come, make peace with me now;
For in surrender, we are like the dead.
چو بر گورم بخواهی بوسه دادن
رُخم را بوسه ده، کاکنون همانیم
If you wish to kiss my grave when I am gone,
Kiss my face now, while I am still here.
خمش کن مرده‌وار ای دل، ازیرا
به هستی متهم ما زین زبانیم
Be silent as the dead, O heart, for through this tongue
We stand accused of claiming a separate existence.

For Your sake, I will make my whole being an offering.
— Rūmī, Dīvān-i Shams, Ghazal 1724
Come, let us recognize each other’s worth,
Before we suddenly find ourselves parted.
Since the believer is surely the mirror of the believer,
Why do we turn our faces away from the mirror?
The generous have offered their very lives for the Friend.
— Rūmī, Dīvān-i Shams, Ghazal 1535
Could the purpose of existence be other than making our lives an offering to the Beloved? Could there be anything else to offer but our very beings? Could we be true in our offerings if we don’t see the Beloved and seek the Beloved in one another? Could we honor our covenant if we don’t honor those who took the covenant alongside us?
We offer our offerings to the saintly ones who made their lives an offering to the One. What a gift to offer our prayers beside those who have become all offering and all prayer.
Among the blessed visitations I was gifted to make in India was this visitation to the great saint of Mumbai Hajj Ali.
Haji Ali Dargah is one of Mumbai’s most iconic Sufi shrines, situated on a small islet in the Arabian Sea and connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. It houses the tomb of Sayyid Pīr Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, a 15th-century Sufi saint who came from Bukhara in Central Asia to call people to divine unity. According to local tradition, he renounced his wealth and devoted his life to God. The shrine remains a beloved place of pilgrimage, attracting people of all faiths who come to offer prayers, seek blessings, and pay their respects.

منم که شهرهٔ شهرم به عشق ورزیدن
منم که دیده نیالوده‌ام به بد دیدن
وفا کنیم و ملامت کشیم و خوش باشیم
که در طریقتِ ما کافری‌ست رنجیدن
به پیرِ میکده گفتم که چیست راهِ نجات
بخواست جامِ می و گفت عیب پوشیدن
I am the one renowned throughout the city
for passionate love.
I am the one who has never stained my eyes
by looking for faults.
Let us remain faithful, bear their blame, and be joyful,
For on our path, to take offense is unbelief.
I asked the master of the tavern,
“Which path is the path to salvation?”
He called for a cup of wine and said,
“Covering the faults of others.”

“You can’t really be a person of dhikr until you fall in love.”
The heart is always in remembrance of something.
Whatever we love, we carry within us. Our thoughts return to it, our hearts turn toward it, and without even knowing, we make dhikr of it.
When the heart is filled with love for Allah, remembrance becomes more than words upon the tongue. It becomes the longing of the soul, drawn again and again toward the Beloved.
So may we become true lovers!

Sometimes it is named sun
Sometimes they call it tree
Sometimes it is named cloud
Sometimes they call it sea
Sometimes it is named you
Sometimes they call it me
Pass beyond the names now
Is it not the time to see?

Mawlana Rumi, Masnavī, Book VI, 761–766
در همه عالم اگر مرد و زنند
دم به دم در نزع و اندر مردنند
Everyone in the world, whether man or woman,
is in the throes of death with every breath.
آن سخنشان را وصیتها شمر
که پدر گوید در آن دم با پسر
Regard their words as the final counsel
a father gives his son as he leaves the world,
تا بروید عبرت و رحمت بدین
تا ببرد بیخ بغض و رشک و کین
so that understanding and compassion may grow within you
and uproot hatred, envy, and resentment.
تو بدان نیت نگر در اقربا
تا ز نزع او بسوزد دل ترا
Look upon those around you with this intention,
so that your heart may burn with compassion for their dying.
کل آت آت آن را نقد دان
دوست را در نزع و اندر فقد دان
What is coming will surely come. Consider it already here.
Consider your friend already in the throes of death, departing from this world.
وز غرضها زین نظر گردد حجاب
این غرضها را برون افکن ز جیب
And if selfish motives veil you from seeing this way,
cast these motives out of your heart.
