Mirza Iqbal Ashraf, the author of Introduction to World Philosophies: A Chronological Progression and Islamic Philosophy of War and Peace, opened his eyes in Persian knowing family. His grandfather's six volume commentary of the Mathnawi expanded his vision of Rumi's holistic humanism, mysticism, and love. He lives in Poughkeepsie, New York.
"Remarkable work, it opens Rumi for the reader with depth and delicacy." - Nathan Katz, Florida International University "Consuming the pages of Rumi's Holistic Humanism, young and old may begin to feel intoxicated as the beauty, wisdom, and love that flows through Rumi's verses wends its way into your heart. You may wake up suddenly in the middle of the night to find your heart caressing a particular verse or being caressed, for Rumi is a mirror reflecting a clear light in which many psychological and spiritual secrets are revealed and waiting to be acknowledged." - Peter Rogen, "Discover Rumi's Poetry" at Rumi Performances LLC "Rumi's Holistic Humanism may help to focus the light of readers' attention on the mystical poet's passionate conviction that 'love is the strongest unifying force,' and that its force is present everywhere and in everything. It may even encourage some to study the extraordinary work of Rumi that so often opens the heart of its adepts. For Rumi peace is the natural quest for a whole person, and the human being's inclination to it arises from a natural universal order. In humankind's fight to root out conflict, violence, and war, Rumi's holistic view of unconditional love may prove one of our best friends." - Muhammad A. Hafeez, author of Mission and Destiny of Humankind and Human Character and Behavior
