The recent gathering with Sheikh Muhammed Adil ar‑Rabbani opened in the traditional spirit of our Sufi heritage: “Esselamu aleykum ve rahmetullahi ve barakatuhu… Bismillâhi r‑Rahmâni r‑Rahîm.” With these blessings, Mehmet Küçük and moderator Bayram Türkoğlu welcomed the Sheikh, expressing gratitude for his presence and asking that the meeting be a source of benefit for all who listen.
The atmosphere was one of reverence and anticipation. After the opening salutations, the hosts invited Sheikh Adil ar‑Rabbani to address questions that touch both public concerns and matters of the heart. Though the recorded transcript repeats the phrase “Efendim birinci sorumu var” many times—reflecting the earnest desire of participants to pose their first question—the essence of the session lies in its intention: a sincere dialogue aimed at illuminating contemporary issues through timeless Sufi wisdom.
Even without detailed answers captured in the transcript, the gathering exemplified the Royal Ottoman Society’s commitment to fostering spaces where seekers can directly engage with learned teachers. The repeated invitation for questions signals an open‑hearted approach, encouraging community members to bring forward their curiosities and challenges.
