Esselamun Aleyküm. In recent weeks, several statements have circulated on social media that question the integrity of our community and its leadership. Ayberk Efendi took this opportunity to address those claims directly, emphasizing the continuity of his spiritual lineage and the unity of the Royal Ottoman Society under the guidance of Sheikh Muhammed Adil el‑Rabbani.
Ayberk Efendi reminded us that for thirty years he has been a devoted disciple first of Sheikh Nazım el‑Kıbrıs el‑Hakkani and, after his passing, of Sheikh Muhammed Adil el‑Rabbani, who is both the son and khalifa of the late sheikh. All members of our congregation, including the team that works alongside Ayberk Efendi, are bound exclusively to Sheikh Muhammed Adil el‑Rabbani’s guidance; we have no affiliations with any other authority. Rooted in the ehl‑i sünnet tradition and the Naqshbandi path, our actions follow only the will of our current sheikh.
To those who wish to see the Society firsthand, share a cup of tea, or simply learn more about our activities, we warmly invite you to visit our centre. A personal meeting can foster mutual understanding and deepen fellowship. As Ayberk Efendi wisely quoted from the hadith: “When you hear something, do not rush to believe or judge; first investigate.” This counsel encourages sincere inquiry before forming opinions.
We remain steadfast, trusting that challenges only strengthen our resolve. Should you feel called to explore our teachings further, we welcome you to attend one of our live gatherings, where the spirit of Sufi fellowship is alive and shared.
