Mystic of Persia Molana Jalal ul Din Muhammad Roomi Balkhi has been considered as the poet of Humanity and love.Many teachings of Rumi are borrowed from the Quran, directly or indirectly. Quran is a guideline for every aspect of human life and for every human being.The major theme of the Quran is ‘A Perfect Man’ or ‘Insan-e-kamil’ and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the prototype for it. In his books Rumi divided the mankind in three levels, low or imperfect , average and perfect.Teachings of Rumi guides a man gradually from the lowest stage to the highest where he is finally submerged in the ocean of divine attributes. It is at this stage that a man becomes perfect, and understands the will of God. Here God loves the man and the man is pleased with God. The present study aims to find links between the teachings of the Quran and Rumi’s works with respect to the accession of man from the imperfect one to the perfenct one.
