In this heartfelt gathering the community lifts a resonant chant that declares Sheikh Mehmed Efendi as “the Sultan of the sultans.” The repeated verses echo a profound Sufi truth: “The Sultan is one; there cannot be two. Whether you become a lion or not, it matters not—power belongs to Him who holds it. May Allah keep us from straying from the Truth.” By placing Sheikh Mehmed Efendi at the centre of their devotion, the assembly affirms that all guidance flows through him alone.
The refrain also reminds seekers of the essential practice of standing firmly on the side of ḥaqq (the Truth). Those who remain beside the Truth “shine and become radiant,” while those who turn away inevitably fade. The chant repeatedly proclaims “hizmetkarız”—we are servants—signalling humble dedication to the Sheikh’s guidance and to the collective path of service.
