In a recent video, Ayberk Efendi informs the community that Sheikh Hisham has publicly attacked Mawlana Sheikh Nazim’s revered declaration and, unsettlingly, his family as well. The clip conveys the gravity of this dispute and shows how delicate the transmission of a spiritual heritage becomes when it is challenged from within our own circles. That a fellow sheikh questions such a foundational teaching is reason enough for seekers and custodians alike to reflect.
We ask all members and friends of the Royal Ottoman Society to discuss this matter with one another respectfully, sharing insights rooted in love for the tariqa and its history. For ongoing dialogue and support, please visit our community page. May we remain steadfast in preserving the integrity of our shared spiritual legacy.
