Today, March 24, 2022, was celebrated the day of Sultan Novruz in the Afghan community in Shengjin-Lezha, organized by the American Council for Education with the participation of the Bektashi World Leader, His Holiness, Haji Dede Edmond Brahimaj, who after the day prayer of Sultan Novruz made one and one more brief greeting.
The festivities were accompanied by various presentations by Afghan students of how Sultan Novruz's Holy Day is celebrated in the Afghan tradition, accompanied by a special food table and festive dances of this new spring day, the Persian New Year.
On the occasion of this holy day for the Bektashis and the first day of spring, the World Grandfather brought you a cake with the symbolism of two flags, the Albanian and the Afghan flag, and then, together, planted some olive trees in the resort where Afghans are accommodated in Shengjin.
In the end, everyone sat down to lunch together, as a sign of friendship of this worldwide holiday.
Greetings of the World Leader, His Holiness, Haxhi Dede Edmond Brahimaj:
Bismilahi Rrahmani Rrahim! In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful! Dear my Afghan sisters and brothers! Dear Representatives of the American Councils on International Education!
I am very happy to be with you today to preach the prayer, and the emotions and hopes that the blessed day of Sultan Novruz brings!
The feast of Sultan Nowruz marks the beginning of the new year, and coincides with the birthday of Imam Ali at the Kaaba. This day is the day of the great resurrection. On this day everything is resurrected, hope is born, resurrection for all mankind. It is a new day, when everyone hopes for a better, peaceful and prosperous future.
As loyal followers of the tariqa of Islam, at the same time today, we celebrate the birthday of Imam Ali, peace be upon him, whose life and work, remain an example of a spirit of holiness, among the Muslim family. The precious qualities engraved in His personality still remain today, the point of reference and inspiration not only in our approach to the seas and heavens of religious mysticism, but also in the plane of current human developments.
Sisters and brothers!
In these difficult times, when the world is facing wars and atrocities, in the murder of innocent young people and children, sons of mothers and fathers of children, of eager and bloody people for occupation and power, we call for peace, freedom, independence, renunciation of bombing and destruction. On this new day we pray to the Most High God for protection and help, blessing and hope.
Our message, prayers and blessing on this new Holy day goes to you, your families, the children of the elderly, to find the peace of mind and the desired hope, that the souls of your loved ones who are not with us today may rest in peace, and that your half of the heart that is not near you may join you as soon as possible.
With this message of prayer, blessing, acceptance, hospitality, kindness, and compassion, I assure you that whenever necessary the Bektashi World Headquarters, the Holy See, will have its gates open and the table set for all these families. who will be in need, and the hearts of the Bektashis will be opened to these long-suffering peoples.
This difficult, painful, bloody and destructive situation, not only for the peoples who are in a state of war but for the whole world, makes us spiritually and wholeheartedly close to each other not just to express feelings of solidarity , but above all to be as close as possible to those who lost their loved ones, who lost their shelter, and the table with food, to those who are suffering from these wars.
We live in a time when peoples must be free and independent, the family as the embryo of a developing society must live happily and not divided, not killed and destroyed ... As Imam Ali says "Do not become a slave to others when Allah has created you free ..."
We are confessing even in these difficult days, to be united in both families, the biological and the spiritual, praying to the Great God to give us strength and hope for the days to come, with the prayers that the flourishing of this new day , will awaken hearts and new hopes will flourish!
"Help and you will be helped ....". Imam Aliu
God bless the Afghan people and the state of Afghanistan!
God bless us all! Amin!
