This gathering with Sheikh Muhammed Adil ar-Rabbani opened in the traditional spirit of our Sufi heritage: “Esselamu aleykum ve rahmetullahi ve berekatuhu … Bismillâhi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm.” Mehmet Küçük and moderator Bayram Türkoğlu welcomed the Sheikh, thanked him for his presence and asked that the meeting benefit all who listen.
In an atmosphere of reverence and anticipation, the hosts then invited Sheikh Adil ar-Rabbani to answer questions touching both public concerns and matters of the heart. The participants were eager to put their questions – “Efendim, birinci sorum var” (“Efendim, I have a first question”) – in a sincere dialogue that seeks to shed the light of timeless Sufi wisdom on the issues of today.
Such gatherings reflect the Royal Ottoman Society’s commitment to spaces where seekers can speak directly with learned teachers and bring their questions and challenges openly.
