Full speech to the Bektashi World Leader:
Bismilahi Rrahmani Rrahim!
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
Honored brothers, high representatives of the Muslim Community in Albania!
Dear Bektashi clerics and believers!
Today’s Mevlud, on the blessed day of the remembrance of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, gives me the great opportunity to bring you the sincere congratulations of millions of Bektashi believers around the world. May you always be happy and enlightened in the bounties of our Prophet!
May the Most High fulfill every wish that serves brotherhood!
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, with his life and work, has been and remains a unique model for all generations of Muslim believers. He knew how to transform himself, his followers and then the whole backward Arab society, only through sacrifices, patience, love of knowledge, determination for unity and brotherhood in the divided tribes. He could cultivate in the minds of the people who constituted the great Muslim family, universal mercy, away from wars and blind battles for wealth. He knew the transient and mortal things of this world, to join the troublesome but eternal truths.
Our human society, yesterday and today, testify that the prophetic teachings, sayings, attitudes and especially His philosophy, remain heavy cornerstones in the building of the Islamic religion, which in addition its glorious and full of light days, has also storms of all kinds, coming from other civilizations. But if this building withstood the underground seismicity of these civilizations, if it came to grow and develop, it has to do in particular with the prophetic tradition of dialogue, kindness, wisdom, and brotherly love. In this view, we all think we are following in the footsteps of our far-sighted leader.
My sisters and brothers!
When each of us witnesses submission to Allah Almighty and seeks to ascend the pedestals of worship to Him, the first task that comes to mind is to walk on the right path, the path of goodness, wisdom, unwavering faith. Therefore, in every beat of our hearts, in every action we take, in every word we utter, we always need the eternal help and mercy of the Creator, therefore we always call with mind the wise and beautiful word of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon Him!
The motto of every thought and every saying of ours is: “Guide me to the right path. That is the way of the messengers, by which Allah enlightened them! ” The right path, obviously, is difficult. It begins with the trust given to the myrshid, with the unconditional surrender, with the sacrifice of temporary things for the sake of eternal love, with the implementation of all the duties so clearly defined in the Qur’an. That path has been and will remain the path of great and eternal sacrifices. But we will never tire of traveling because we have a shining model like our Prophet. Any attempt to ironize our Prophet, let alone any crime for ostensibly defending the dignity of the Prophet, have never had and will never have anything to do with religion. Religion is the call to a large and happy family
