Jawid Mojaddedi is Professor of Religion at Rutgers University.
Born in Afghanistan, he was a 2014-15 National Endowment for the
Arts Literature Translation Fellow and a 2020-21 National Endowment
for the Humanities Fellow. Dr Mojaddedi's translation of The
Masnavi: Book One (OUP, 2004) was awarded the Lois Roth Prize by
the American Institute of Iranian Studies. His previous books
include Beyond Dogma: Rumi's Teachings on Friendship with God and
Early
Sufi Theories (OUP, 2012) and The Biographical Tradition in Sufism
(2001).
`'Mojaddedi's is the most faithful verse translation now
available... the reader without Persian comes as close as possible
to the original.''
