In this address, Sheikh Mehmed Efendi reminded us of the need for unity and clear guidance since the passing of Sheikh Efendi. He observed that a number of individuals have begun to disregard these directives, creating uncertainty among our brothers and sisters. To protect believers from unknowingly turning to other groups, he has asked Ayberk Efendi to compile a complete directory of all tekkes and dergahs that remain within our spiritual lineage, with their addresses and e‑mail contacts.
Ayberk Efendi’s careful organization is well known in the community. The directory will enable every seeker, wherever they are in the world, to find an authentic center of practice and to verify the legitimacy of the gatherings they attend.
Sheikh Mehmed Efendi also warned against those who present a friendly face while harboring contrary intentions. Such duplicity cannot be tolerated; our way is one of complete honesty and steadfastness—“all or nothing.” The list will help members tell genuine assemblies from misleading ones and preserve the integrity of our shared heritage.
For those who wish to deepen their practice under proper guidance, we invite you to join our regular live meetings, where Bayʿah and teachings are offered. May Allah keep us firm on the straight path and protect the unity of our tradition.
