Bismilahi Rrahmani Rrahim!
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
Dear my brothers, clerics, myhib and Bektashi believers wherever you are in the world!
Giving you hope and blessings in this war where the whole world is involved today, let me remind you that on this day we all gather together with special respect for the life and work of Dede Kamber Prishta, which have the place of their precious in the pantheon of world Bektashism.
Raised and educated in the Bektashi tekkes of southern Albania, accustomed to the patriotic and freedom-loving spirit, Dede Kamber Prishta would unite in the most unique way the tradition of the Bektashi fathers of the 19th century with those of the 20th century , always conveying the proverbial wisdom of Haxhi Bektash Veliu.
With his deep mystical knowledge, but also with his brave action, Dede Kamberi knew how to plant in the hearts of believers the love for both worlds, the devotion to faith in God and the responsibility to respond to the homeland as rarely in those difficult years of presence in Albania of the Bektashi World Headquarters. Dede Kamberi was not only a vocal representative of the clergy of southern Albania but also a loyal friend and supporter of the reforms led by Sali Njazi Dede.
His decisive patriotic attitude in the years 1941-1944 would later reserve to Dede Kamber endless suffering as well as hundreds of Bektashi dervishes, fathers and benefactors in post-communist Albania.
Under absurd accusations, segments of the mechanisms of dictatorship, arrested our Dede Kamberi, wanting in this way to strike not just a Bektashi cleric, but this tariqat which had radiated outstanding patriotic values.
Dede Kamber Prishta, although he passed away in the prison cell, still today remains a martyr of freedom of religion, a martyr of democracy, a symbol of the clergyman who was sacrificed in the way of the Great God.
Eternal honor to his work!
Amin!
THE WORLD GRANDFATHER OF THE BEKTASHIS
HIS HOLINESS
