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.
