Abstract

Annemarie Schimmel was a renowned orientalist of 21st century. She was inclined to learning classical Oriental languages like Arabic and Persian at the very young age. Later she proved to be a polyglot and prolific writer of international repute. She wrote on multiple topics but Islamic Sufism was her main forte. Schimmel dedicated a better part of her life for reading, researching and writing on the great Sufi poet of Islam Maulana Rumi. She wrote 16 books and 49 articles on Rumi in different languages. The Triumphal Sun is her well known compendious work in which she successfully presented the life, art and thought of Maulana Rumi. This book is considered one of the best works on Rumi Studies. This article focuses Schimmel's devotion to Rumi Studies in light of her writings.
