In this gathering, Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi join their voices in the dhikr “Lā ilāha illallāh … Al‑ḥamdu lillāh.” The repetition of Lā ilāha illallāh (“There is no god but Allah”) and Al‑ḥamdu lillāh (“All praise be to Allah”) invites every heart to pause, breathe and turn toward the Divine.
The words Tövbe ya Rabbi – “I repent, O my Lord” – are a humble supplication that opens the soul. Chanting together, the two show how collective zikr softens the ego, calms inner turmoil and lets mercy flow. The rhythm follows the breath, which makes the practice accessible to newcomers and deepens it for experienced seekers.
Anyone drawn to this living tradition is welcome at our live gatherings, where dhikr, the study of classical Sufi texts and remembrance are shared in community.
