In this short presentation, Ayberk Efendi introduces Sheikh Hisham and asks what purpose guides his work. A recurring image is the Turkish börek, a layered pastry filled with cheese or meat. Ayberk Efendi compares Sheikh Hisham’s emerging “tariqa al-aybarkiyya” to this familiar pastry, suggesting that the new order presents itself in an accessible yet richly layered form.
The talk also mentions a modern inspector – in suit and tie rather than traditional dress, and without a beard – who comes to examine people’s beliefs. In the presentation, this image stands for the way Sheikh Hisham addresses contemporary seekers in today’s professional and cultural settings.
Anyone who wants to explore these questions further is welcome on our community page, where discussion of the tariqa and its practice continues.
