Bāztāb-i āyinah: darbārah-ʼi Mawlavī va Mawlavī-shināsān-i buzurg

In Bāztāb-i āyinah, Masʻūd Rabīʻīfar offers an insightful and structured exploration of the legacy of Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Mawlavī. Moving beyond hagiographic accounts, this work examines the contributions of key scholars such as Annemarie Schimmel and Franklin Lewis, while providing a critical analysis of Mawlavī’s relationship with Shams-i Tabrīzī. Rabīʻīfar addresses the inherent contradictions and criticisms within Sufi discourse, ultimately presenting Mawlavī’s teachings as a vital humanistic and ethical guide for the twenty-first century. Published in Tihrān, this volume serves as both a scholarly bibliography and a philosophical reflection on the enduring light of one of Īrān’s greatest mystics.
