The world champion of the human epic in Rumi’s Divan-e Shams is a positive, capable, and dynamic individual who powerfully enjoys the present moment of life, optimistically strides toward perfection, and joyfully nurtures the soul and spirit of themselves and others in the journey of life. Mental health is the product of this perspective and belief, which encapsulates the views of positive psychology thinkers. The present article examines and analyzes the evidence and examples of positive psychology components according to Martin Seligman’s theory in the Divan-e Shams. In other words, positive psychology, instead of focusing on disorders and weaknesses, summarizes human strengths into six broad categories: wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. The core theme of many verses in the Divan-e Shams, a portion of which is referenced in this study, is the celebration, promotion, and propagation of these strengths, as well as the concepts and meanings subsumed under these six categories, such as curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, perseverance, love, and more. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this research analyzes selected verses from the Divan-e Shams through the lens of positive psychology, ultimately revealing Rumi’s positive outlook in creating the Divan-e Shams, which highlights the immense potential of Persian literature in psychology. Additionally, the decorations of Rumi’s tomb are examined.
