The Masnavi book of the great work of Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, a Persian poet and mystic. This book is composed of 6.2 bits and 2 books and is one of the best books on ancient Persian mystical literature and Persian wisdom after Islam. The book of Masnavi is written in the form of Masnavi poetry, which is also the title of the book. In this book, three successive stories in the form of an allegory tell the story of human hardships on the way to God. The first eighteen bits of the first Mathnawi office are known as the Nimnameh and are an abstract of the concept of office. This book was compiled at the request of Mawlawi's student, Hesamuddin Hassan Chalabi, from 1 to 6 AH. Mawlawi's Mathnawi, like most Sufi Masnavi, largely uses "story" as a means of expressing Sufi teachings. The arrangement of the various stories in this book seems to have no clear order. The main characters of the stories can range from prophets and kings to shepherds and slaves. Animals also play a prominent role in these stories. The latest story of Masnavi (the princes and fortresses of the usury) remained unfinished with the death of Rumi. The sixth office of Masnavi is therefore an unfinished office. His son has a beautiful Mathnawi, in which he complains about the death of his father and the unfinished Mathnawi. The origin of the story, of course, can be found in Shams Tabrizi's articles and the final part of the story. Rumi in Mathnawi demonstrates his skill in using everyday events to explain his mystical views. Another distinguishing feature of this book is its frequent escapism from the main story to explain (sometimes in detail) the various points of the story. This may indicate that for Rumi the theme of the story was more important than the style of writing.

Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi was born in Balkh in 5 AH. His name was Muhammad and his nickname during the life of Jalaluddin and sometimes Lord and Rumi, and the nickname Rumi has been used in later centuries (apparently from the ninth century).
