Abstract
Spiritual Healing: Perpetual Words" attempts to analyze and prove the possibility of the cultural travel from eastern to western realms of the world through "mystic lexicon". The study also, attempts at assessing critically the notable similarities and differences between Eastern Sufism and Western Mysticism, and examining major Islamic mystical ideologies. Therefore, the research is aiming at studying and analyzing the way in which Sufism, with all its aspects, was able to penetrate into the American society by covering major factors that helped the enculturation of the phenomenon, and how religious and cultural groups facilitated its existence in U.S. Moreover, it examines the impact of the Masnavi, a significant Parisian work in the United States through different versions and translations. By doing so, it seeks to unveil the real facets of Sufism and how it was perceived and welcomed by the Americans, making oriental Rumi the best-selling poet in U.S.
