🌹In the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

To the Assembly of Lovers, Seekers of the Eternal Beloved, the Servants of the Golden Chain,

Peace upon your hearts that beat with remembrance. Peace upon your souls, illuminated by the lights of the Unseen. Peace upon you, the companions of a sacred journey, veiled in the fragrance of Divine Unity and adorned by the love of those who have walked the path before us.

O beloved ones, know that this path is not a path of endings, but of eternal beginnings. The lights of our masters do not fade with the setting of their earthly forms, for they are stars that shine eternally in the firmament of Divine Reality. As we gather now beneath the banner of our living guide, Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet Adil (may Allah protect and elevate him), we find ourselves enveloped in the same ocean of love that carried us through the hands of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Adnan Kabbani, Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, and every luminous pearl of the Golden Chain, stretching back to the Heart of the Beloved, Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

This is the path of eternity, where the footprints of the saints dissolve into the Infinite, and their breaths mingle with the winds of mercy that carry seekers ever closer to their Lord. The hands of our shaykhs were not merely hands; they were bridges connecting the seen to the unseen, the finite to the infinite, the servant to the Beloved. Their words were not merely words; they were keys unlocking the treasures of the soul, and their gazes were mirrors reflecting the beauty of the Divine.

O travelers on this blessed road, know that the Golden Chain is not a rope of this world, but a thread spun from the loom of Divine Love. It binds the hearts of seekers to the heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the ultimate reflection of Divine Beauty. As we hold tightly to it, under the guidance of Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet, we are carried not by our own strength, but by the power of the saints who have entrusted us with their light.

Do not think for a moment that the passing of our masters is a separation. Their love is nearer to you than your own breath, their presence closer than the blood in your veins. Their spirits are the wind that lifts you when you falter, the light that guides you when the path grows dim, and the voice that calls you to rise when the world seeks to pull you down. Their love for you is not diminished by veils of time or space, for their hearts dwell in the Divine Presence, where all hearts are one.

Beloved companions, let us honor them by living their legacy. Let our tongues remain wet with the remembrance of Allah, our hearts softened by the tears of longing, and our hands stretched out in mercy to all creation. Let us walk this path with humility and sincerity, knowing that every step we take is a step closer to the Beloved, and a continuation of the trust they placed in us.

We are not alone, for we are one soul in the multitude, one heart in the eternal chain of love. We are the fragrance of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, the humility of Shaykh Adnan, the strength of Shaykh Nazim, and the radiant light of all the Grandshaykhs. Their love is the soil from which our spirits grow, and their teachings are the water that nourishes us until we blossom into the realities they lived and breathed.

Let us remain steadfast, united under the sacred banner of As-Sayyidi Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet, whose hand holds the keys to our journey. Through his guidance, we are carried through the Golden Chain, through the gardens of the saints, and to the eternal nearness of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who is the doorway to the Divine.

May Allah grant us the strength to walk this path with unwavering love and unshakable devotion. May He keep us under the shadow of His beloved servants and allow us to drink deeply from the fountains of their wisdom. May we arrive together, hand in hand, heart to heart, in the Presence of the One who is beyond all words and forms.

With love that knows no bounds,

The Family of As-Sayyidi Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and the Seekers of the Golden Chain
