On 12 March 2016 the Royal Ottoman Society gathered in the historic Pfalzbau theatre in Ludwigshafen for a special dhikr evening dedicated to Allah Hümmé. Guided by Sheikh Bahauddin Adil, participants entered a rhythmic remembrance rooted in centuries-old Ottoman Sufi practice that still speaks to seekers today.
Sheikh Bahauddin led the chant of “Allah Hümmé”, a name that evokes the all-encompassing nature of the Divine. Breath and sound moved together; the slow opening repetitions grew into a vibrant crescendo, inviting each heart to join the collective pulse of devotion and to let the ego fall quiet.
Long-time members and newcomers alike found common ground in the shared rhythm. The evening reflected the purpose of our Society: preserving authentic practice while offering an open space for spiritual growth.
