On Sunday 7 December 2014, the Royal Ottoman Society gathered at Nawab’s Restaurant on Stockport Road, Manchester, to witness a special moment in our contemporary Sufi lineage: the launch of Holy Legacy, the newest work by Sheikh Mehmed Adil al‑Haqqani. Ayberk Efendi graciously introduced the event, presenting Sheikh Mehmed Adil alongside his trusted vizier, Sheikh Bahauddin, for this memorable evening.
The book Holy Legacy reflects the deep spiritual heritage transmitted from Sheikh Nazim al‑Haqqani to his successor, Sheikh Mehmed Adil al‑Haqqani. In its pages readers encounter timeless teachings on love, service, and the inner journey toward divine remembrance, all framed within the rich Ottoman‑Sufi tradition that shapes our community today.
The gathering was more than a literary ceremony; it offered an opportunity for members and friends to sit together in fellowship, share reflections, and reaffirm their commitment to the living legacy of the Naqshbandi‑Haqqani order. The warm atmosphere of Nawab’s restaurant, coupled with heartfelt prayers and the presence of respected teachers, made the night a vivid reminder that our spiritual lineage continues to flourish across continents.
We invite all who feel drawn to this heritage to deepen their connection through membership or participation in our ongoing activities. Become a member of the Royal Ottoman Society here and join the broader community online. May the teachings of Sheikh Mehmed Adil Efendi inspire us all to walk the path of love, humility, and service.
