On the evening of 25 January 2015, the Royal Ottoman Society welcomed a distinguished guest in Ludwigshafen: Sheikh Bahauddin Adil Sultan. The gathering opened with Ayberk Efendi’s introduction, inviting all present to open their hearts to the blessings of the evening. As the room settled into silence, a collective chant of “Allah’u” rose in unison.
The rhythmic repetition of this simple dhikr created an atmosphere of shared remembrance, aligning each breath with the sacred Name and preparing the heart for Sheikh Bahauddin’s presence and words.
We are grateful to Ayberk Efendi for hosting and to everyone whose voice joined in that evening of dhikr. May the resonance of “Allah’u” continue to inspire our practice and lead us toward deeper remembrance and compassion.
Recordings and related materials are available in our digital library: Royal Ottoman Society Library.
