You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Fihi ma fihi sample.jpg|thumb|right|A page of ''Fihi Ma Fihi'' from MuntaXab-i ''Fihi Ma Fihi'']]
The '''''Fihi Ma Fihi''''' or '''''Fīhi Mā Fīhi''''' (((lang-fa|فیه ما فیه|italic=yes))), ((lit|'It Is What It Is" or "In It What Is in It'))) is a [[Persian language|Persian]] prose work of 13th century Sufi mystic and Iranian poet [[Rumi|Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī]].<ref>((Cite web |last=Agency |first=Anadolu |date=2021-09-30 |title=Universality, relevance of Rumi’s thoughts amaze whole world |url=https://www.dailysabah.com/arts/universality-relevance-of-rumis-thoughts-amaze-whole-world/news |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=Daily Sabah |language=en-US))</ref> The book has 72 short discourses.

==Description==

=== The title and origin of the book ===
According to [[Jaafar Modarres-Sadeghi|J. M. Sadeghi]] the title ''Fihi Ma Fihi'' has appeared on a copy dated 1316. Another copy of the book dated 1350 has the title '''''Asrar al-jalalieh'''''. Rumi himself in the fifth volume of [[masnavi|''Masnavi-i Ma'navi'']] mentions<ref>((cite book|title="حکایت شیخ محمد سَرْرَزی غزنوی قَدَّسَ اللهُ سِرَّه" in Masnavi-i Ma'navi))</ref> that
((cquote|((center| بس سؤال و بس جواب و ماجرا <br /> بُد میان زاهد و رب الوری <br /> <br /> که زمین و آسمان پرنور شد <br /> در مقالات آن همه مذکور شد))
| source = Reynold A. Nicholson. ''The Mathnawi Of Jalauddin Rumi'', vol. VI, p. 161
))

which most likely refers to this book. The title '''''Maghalat-e Mowlana''''' of copies of the book published in Iran follows this.

Not much is known about the publication time and the writer of the book. According to [[forouzanfar|B. Forouzanfar]], the editor of the most reliable copy of the book, it is likely that the book was written by [[Sultan Walad|Sultanwalad]], the eldest son of Rumi, based on manuscripts and notes taken by himself or others from the lectures of his father on [[masnavi|''Masnavi-i Ma'navi'']].

In the ''Essence of Rumi'', John Baldock states that ''Fihi Ma Fihi'' was one of Rumi's discourses written towards the end of his life.  Rumi lived from 1207 to 1273 so ''Fihi Ma Fihi'' was likely written some time between 1260 and 1273 by Rumi himself.

==Significance==
This book is one of the first [[persian language|Persian]] prose books after the so-called [[Persian literature]] revolution (enghelāb-e adabi). Moreover, the book has become an introduction to the ''[[Masnavi]]''. Also many concepts in [[Sufism]] are described in this book in simple terms.

== English translations ==
The book has been translated into English under the title '''''Discourses of Rumi''''' by [[A. J. Arberry]]  in 1961 and consists of 71 discourses. Another translation by Dr. Bankey Behari was published in 1998 under the title '''''Fiha Ma Fiha, Table Talk of Maulani Rumi''''' (DK Publishers, New Delhi), ((ISBN|81-7646-029-X)). A more recent translation into English, with commentary for each of the discourses, by Doug Marman (with the assistance of Jamileh Marefat, a direct descendant of Rumi) was published in 2010 under the title '''''It Is What It Is, The Personal Discourses of Rumi''''' (Spiritual Dialogues Project, Ridgefield, Washington), ((ISBN|978-0-9793260-5-9)). Another English translation, by W.M. Thackston, Jr, was published in 1994 under the title 'Signs of the Unseen: The Discourses of Jalaluddin Rumi' (Putney, VT: Threshold Books, 1994; republished by Shambhala Publications, 1999).
