At a recent gathering of the Royal Ottoman Society, Ayberk Efendi presented a long-awaited document: a vasiyetname (will) that Sheikh Hisham Kabbani had been actively searching for. The presentation was more than a reading; it was a moment of deep reverence for our shared Sufi heritage and for the continuity of spiritual legacies within the Ottoman tradition.
The will, carefully preserved through generations, contains guidance that reflects a commitment to preserving the sacred teachings and to the welfare of the community. By bringing it to light, Ayberk Efendi fulfilled a heartfelt request and gave all members an opportunity to reflect on the responsibilities our forebears have entrusted to us.
We invite you to join our growing family of seekers and custodians of Ottoman spirituality. Find out how to become part of this living tradition on our membership page.
