In this warm gathering at Ballenstedt Castle, Ayberk Efendi joined Prince Edoard, Öz Ali Zahmet and other honored guests in a celebration that blended noble lineage with sincere devotion. The atmosphere was brightened by the gracious hospitality of “Polka Şapka,” whose efforts made it possible for all hearts to meet under one roof.
Ayberk Efendi reminded us that when every face bears a calm expression and each heart feels a quiet peace, true human happiness becomes visible. It is Allah who first draws us together; His will unites our destinies, and the presence of the Evliya—those who embody His guidance on earth—enriches every moment we share.
The gathering concluded with hopeful words about future meetings, shared meals and continued fellowship. We look forward to reconvening under similarly auspicious circumstances, trusting that divine guidance will keep us united.
We invite you to stay connected with the Royal Ottoman Society and join our growing community of seekers.
