Bismilahi Rrahmani Rrahim!
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
Dear girls and women, mothers and sisters of the multi-million Bektashi army! Today, March 8, gives me the opportunity to wish and bless you all: May God and Hajj Bektash Veli fulfill every wish! Eternal prosperity to your biological and spiritual families!
Throughout the world history of religions, we have all witnessed that human society has coexisted with belief in God, no matter to what extent this belief has existed. Faith has become a human necessity because it is inextricably linked to creation, to the attributes of the Creator. And none of us can forget, for a single moment, that there have been and remain mothers, those who, together with breast milk, instill in us love and devotion to the Creator, to all that is good and beautiful.
On a day of congratulations like this, I personally would remember that generation of Bektashi mothers and sisters, who, forced by the circumstances of the atheist regime we went through, kept the candle of Haxhi Bektash Veliu untouched through great sacrifices. They sent us to school, wearing a new T-shirt for the day of Sultan Novruz, reminded us through tears of the martyrs of Karbala. Their courage kept our hope alive during those difficult years.
Even in this difficult year we are going through, Bektashi sisters and mothers are confessing their wonderful spirit. Their compassion and care have always joined the will of the Most High God, relieving us of the wounds of the soul and keeping us in this world, thanks to the courage and prayers they make for every sick person.
That is why I join on this day, with my brothers, Bektashi clerics all over the world, with the greatest congratulations to you, Bektashi sister and mother: Happy March 8th, good luck to you all!
God bless you all!
Amin!
