In this brief but heartfelt segment of a sohbet recorded on 1 July 2017, Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi reaches out to his brother‑in‑spirit Ayberk Efendi. The atmosphere is warm and communal: the Sheikh shares a traditional saying from the evliyalar that “they know people better than the people know themselves,” reminding listeners of the deep insight spiritual guides hold.
The conversation quickly turns to celebration. Sheikh Bahauddin announces the forthcoming marriage of Mehmet Mazlum, expressing sincere joy and requesting prayers for the happy couple. He blesses the union repeatedly—“May Allah make it a source of goodness, may he emerge as a noble prince”—and concludes with traditional greetings of peace and gratitude.
These moments capture the living tradition of our community: spiritual guidance interwoven with everyday milestones, all offered within a circle of mutual dua.
