Farsi Fridays: December 2, 2022

Though it is now translated in to hundreds of languages, Rumi’s original work was written in Farsi – including his famous Mathnawi. Each Friday we send out a word or phrase, in Farsi, that can be found in Rumi’s work. You can listen to the pronunciation and learn the meaning of Farsi words that often appear in Rumi's poetry.

Farsi Fridays is an opportunity to learn Rumi's language and better understand his wisdoms.


عبدالله refers to the one who becomes humble in his or her ego. They seek closeness to the source and take on the attributes of GOD serving others, like the saints and prophets. عبدالله seeks to serve
