In the serene hall of Harmonie der Herzen e.V., members of our community gathered for a short but powerful dhikr led by Ayberk Efendi. The atmosphere was charged with devotion as the repeated mantra “Hu Allah”—the Divine Name in its most intimate form—filled the space. Each syllable resonated like a heartbeat, reminding us that the Presence of God is ever‑present, beyond thought and form.
Ayberk Efendi guided the participants to synchronize breath with chant, allowing the rhythm to draw the mind away from worldly distractions and into a state of inner stillness. The simple repetition of “Hu Allah” serves as a reminder that every moment is an invitation to remember the One who sustains all existence. In Sufi tradition this name embodies the mystery of God’s essence—beyond attributes yet ever‑close to the seeker’s heart.
The gathering was not merely a vocal exercise; it became a collective meditation where each voice merged into a single current of love and gratitude. As the chant rose and fell, we felt the subtle opening of the heart chambers, creating space for compassion, humility, and the awareness that every breath is a gift from the Divine.
Such dhikr sessions are central to our practice at the Royal Ottoman Society. They offer a tangible way to embody the teachings of the great Sufi masters while nurturing the bonds of community. If you feel drawn to experience this depth of remembrance yourself, we invite you to explore our regular live meetings where you can join in dhikr, receive Bayah, and walk further along the spiritual path.
We also welcome you to become part of our growing family of seekers. Membership provides access to gatherings like this one, a supportive network of fellow travelers, and resources that deepen your practice.

May the echo of “Hu Allah” continue to resonate in your heart long after the gathering ends, guiding you toward ever‑greater harmony with the Divine Presence.
