The short poems of love and life are wonderful, but far too many religious ones - poor collection of Rum's work

Rumi's Little Book of Life is a wonderful collection of poems that will leave you inspired and uplifted. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of poetry or seeking a source of inspiration and comfort.

This is my least favorite Rumi poetry book I've read. In fact, I am wondering if the translation isn't as good as the others.

5 stars for a version of Islam that is a straight up love fest. The Mystics get some real shit but WHAT WAS THE REASON (pls don't come after me, haram police)

Also one of these poems made me actually laugh OUT LOUD so go off, Rumi - got me out here giggling !!

I have so much love for so many of these poems though really. It was like being wrapped in a big hug from someone who would never judge you.

Disappointing. The translation completely stripped it of the entire point by secularizing it. Rumi is Muslim
