In this brief yet reverent segment of the 2018 series, Sheikh Bahauddin Adil opens with “Bismillahirrahmanirrahim”, invoking the name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful—before the gathering. The simple utterance serves as a reminder that every word spoken and every heart‑opening that follows is rooted in divine mercy. Though the clip captures only this opening phrase, it carries the weight of centuries of Ottoman Sufi tradition where the Basmalah frames prayers, teachings, and communal reflections.
For those who feel drawn to deepen their connection with such timeless blessings, we invite you to explore further resources offered by the Royal Ottoman Society—whether through membership, joining our community discussions, or attending live meetings where the spirit of Sheikh Bahauddin’s teachings continues to inspire.
