At a gathering under the Ottoman and Anhalt banners, Ayberk Efendi addressed Prince Eduard von Anhalt, Alexander von Bismarck, Karl Franz Mayer and Count von Finkenstein. Thanking them for their presence, he raised his voice with a timeless call for unity: may the wars, disputes and hatreds of humanity be buried beneath the earth, and may justice, peace and love flourish in every corner of the world.
His message recalled the Qur’anic command “do not kill; give life,” reminding us that all creation belongs to the One who commands compassion. Ayberk Efendi spoke of a coming golden age, a time of tranquility, mutual respect and human kindness, and invited every listener, and indeed every soul, to walk this path of peace together, guided by the shared values of our Ottoman heritage.
The spirit of the Ottoman tradition is not confined to history; it lives on in our shared longing for a world in which love outweighs conflict. May we all heed this invitation and help bring about the promised golden age.
