In a modest hall in Ludwigshafen, members of the Royal Ottoman Society gathered for an evening of dhikr under the guidance of Ayberk Efendi. The chant “Allah Hu Hakk” (God is the Truth) filled the room, inviting each participant to quiet the mind and open the heart. As the repetition unfolded, the voices blended as if into a single breath.
Ayberk Efendi’s calm presence encouraged everyone to stay with each syllable and let the words settle deep within. Daily concerns softened and gave way to humility, love and surrender, the core of our Ottoman spiritual heritage. The evening showed how a traditional practice can flourish in contemporary city life.
We are grateful to all who joined this night of shared remembrance and look forward to welcoming seekers again soon. Upcoming dhikr sessions are announced on our Live meetings page, and further teachings and texts are available in the Society’s digital library.
