Drawing upon Rumi&rsquo;s writings of the thirteenth century, it can be understood that there is something beyond religion, and a hopeful domain of spirituality is clear in his poetry. We should climb a ladder of Sufism for understanding Rumi. This article attempts to discuss Sufism, origin of Sufism, and the message of Sufism which is hidden in Rumi&rsquo;s poetry.</p>
