On 5 September 2015 the Royal Ottoman Society welcomed Sheikh Mehmed Adil El Hakkani in Vienna, an occasion introduced by Ayberk Efendi. The visit gave our European friends a rare chance to meet a distinguished bearer of the Sufi tradition. The gathering was filled with heartfelt sohbet and strengthened the bonds of a shared heritage built on love, humility and service.
We are grateful to all who attended and helped make this meeting possible. If you feel drawn to future gatherings or wish to support our mission of preserving Ottoman‑Sufi spirituality, please consider becoming a member of the Royal Ottoman Society: Membership.
May the blessings of this encounter continue to illuminate our path.
