In this work Rumi tried to show the mystic vision and to explain in verse what the prophetic mission means. In the Western world many have never even thought about the subject of the prophet and his work in the world. What they know about prophets is only what is told in the Old Testament about those who prepared the world for the message of Jesus Christ. But what Rumi wished to explain about prophethood was the meaning of Jesus" words, "I am Alpha and Omega." Rumi wished to express that the One who is first and last was, and is, anal ever will be, and that we should not limit Him to one period of history.
