In this brief yet intriguing presentation, Ayberk Efendi introduces Sheikh Hisham and invites listeners to contemplate the purpose that guides his spiritual work. Though the excerpt is concise, a recurring metaphor emerges: the Turkish börek—a layered pie filled with cheese or meat—symbolizes the way a Sufi path can be both familiar and richly diverse. Ayberk Efendi likens Sheikh Hisham’s emerging “tariqa al‑aybarkiyya” to this beloved pastry, suggesting that the new order will present itself in an accessible, yet deeply nourishing form.
The talk also touches on the notion of a modern inspector—dressed in suit and tie rather than traditional garb—who comes without a beard to examine beliefs. This image reflects Sheikh Hisham’s intention to engage contemporary seekers with sincerity and humility, offering guidance that resonates within today’s professional and cultural contexts while remaining rooted in timeless Ottoman‑Sufi wisdom.
We encourage anyone drawn to this fresh perspective to explore further through our community page, where discussions about the evolving tariqa and its practical applications continue.
