Fihi Ma Fihi is a very important valuable work by Rumi but under the domination of his other two works i.e. Masnavi and the Diwan Shams it has been largely ignored. The most important serious in introducing and reviving the book is the work by Forouzanfar. This book is one of the first Persian prose books after the so-called Persian literature revolution (enghelāb-e adabi). Moreover, the book has become an introduction to the Masnavi. Also many concepts in Sufism are described in this book in simple terms. According to Forouzanfar, it is likely that the book was written by Sultanwalad, the eldest son of Rumi, based on manuscripts and notes taken by himself or others from the lectures of his father on Masnavi.
