This study examines the contemporary relevance of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi’s teachings in fostering intraMuslim unity amidst prevailing sectarian and ideological divisions. Through a qualitative analysis of Rumi’s Masnavi, Quranic injunctions, and prophetic traditions (Hadith), the research highlights how his universal principles divine love (Ishqe Haqiqi), spiritual tolerance (Rawadari), and compassion for humanity offer a transformative framework for Muslim solidarity. Rumi’s call to transcend jurisprudential differences (Fiqhi Ikhtilafat) through soul centric brotherhood (Ruhani Ukhuwwah) is presented as a cornerstone for reconciliation. The study identifies three primary barriers to implementation: (1) the politicization of sectarian identities, (2) limited access to spiritual education rooted in inclusive Islamic thought, and (3) the lack of institutional platforms for cross sectarian dialogue. Proposed solutions include integrating Rumi’s Fihi Ma Fihi into mosque-based curricula, organizing cross sectarian youth retreats (Suluk Camps), and utilizing digital storytelling to engage Generation Z, a tech-native cohort shaping the future of Muslim identity and discourse. By illuminating a spiritually grounded path to unity, this study lays the groundwork for future inter sectarian healing, policymaking, and educational reform in the Muslim world.
