The event was organized by the Cultural Counsel of the Islamic Republic of Iran in [[Malaysia]] in collaboration with the Kuala Lumpur City Art Gallery. Professor Ahmad Murad Merican, a scholar in the field of Malaysian literature, noting that Rumi is recognized on par with Plato and [[Aristotle]], stated: "Rumi is the source and generator of certain fundamental sciences."
He further added that the foundation of social sciences is evident in Rumi's thoughts, remarking: "A scholarly perspective on the connection between the soul and society, and existence in the world, is visible in Rumi's works."
Concluding his remarks, the university professor added: "Rumi is often associated with love and [[Islamic mysticism and Sufism (article)|mysticism]], but I believe that we should also benefit from this great global thinker in scientific fields"<ref>[https://icro.ir/ZT9b Reading Rumi's Masnavi in Persian is a long-cherished desire of the people of Malaysia, website of the Organization for Culture and Islamic Relations]. </ref>.
