The Royal Ottoman Society shares a recording of a collective zikir performed by Ayberk Bey together with Sheikh Esref Efendi. In this brief piece the two lead the listeners through the chant “Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahü aleyhi ve sallam”, the remembrance that has nourished Sufi hearts for centuries.
Rooted in Ottoman heritage, the rhythmic repetition of the Prophet’s name is both a devotional anchor and a bridge to the atmosphere of the historic tekkes. Ayberk Bey’s steady vocal line and Sheikh Esref Efendi’s resonant voice flow together and invite the listener to quiet the mind and open the heart. Even without explanation, the chant shows how simple words, spoken together in sincerity, can turn ordinary moments into sacred ones.
If you wish to take part in such gatherings, in person or in our online zikir circles, become part of the Royal Ottoman Society community. Membership gives access to regular live meetings, a library of prayers and teachings, and the company of fellow seekers.
Join the community today and let the echo of “Muhammad Rasulullah” guide you on the path of love and remembrance.
