In a short video call, Sheikh Bahauddin Adil sent warm greetings to His Serene Highness Prince Eduard of Anhalt, a relative of King Charles. The Sheikh opened with the greeting “Selamün aleyküm” and addressed him affectionately as “Sultanım”. He said several times how delighted he was to begin this connection, and wished blessings upon the Prince and everyone present, in Cyprus and elsewhere.
The short message expresses a wish for friendship between the Sufi heritage of the Royal Ottoman Society and European dignitaries who value spiritual matters. The Sheikh’s words – “çok güzel bir başlangıç, harika bir başlangıç” (“a very beautiful beginning, a wonderful start”) – signal the intention of an ongoing dialogue based on mutual respect.
