Abstract
Mevlana Jalal-uddin Rumi, (1207-1273) a mystic, sufi, teacher and a poet, borned around eight centuries ago contributed magnificently to promote humanity, love, peace, tolerance, compassion, respect for each other’s through education and dialogue. Rumi strictly followed the Islamic teachings for building peace in society, as prophet PBUH says “You are all from adam and adam is from earth. O servants of GOD be brothers and sisters“. To foster love, tolerance, peace and harmony Rumi stressed for provoking education and interfaith dialogue between the peoples of different religions, as education is the only weapon which we can use to transform the world (Nelson Mandela) and the dialogue provides a framework of mutual acceptance to each other’s identity along with existing rich diversity of culture and values. Therefore his message of interfaith universality is ruling without any religious discrimination and bias he says Rumi belongs to each one of them. His poetry and prose writings consist of spiritual content which is the universal language of the human soul.
