السلام عليكم, This is ignorant bickering. Neither side has ever read the mathnavi or knows about Maulana Jalaluddeen Rumi , and both throwing accusations and defending. Br. Dawud, Hazrat Jalaluddeen Rumi was not a Sufi of the type that today take his name to justify acting contrary to Shariah. He was strict on Shariah and correct in Aqeedah but he is being misrepresented by many to justify their own agenda. As for the other side, br. waqasmahmahmood, the same difficulty applies to you as well. So if you want to approach Maulana Jalaluddeen Rumi then go through a modern-day true-Sufi and don't just pick up anything from anywhere and get excited about it. Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Akhtar has written an urdu sharh on the Mathnavi, the english translation is also available, although it does not have the same enjoyment.
