This miracle that God has done in this country has certainly been His will. But in order for this miracle to be preserved beautiful and untouched for centuries, it is exactly the Bektashi tekke, the good place named after Ballem Sultan, are the long generations of clerics and believers of Haxhi Bektash Veliu, who with their spirit and efforts further enriched this blessed land. Over the centuries, the natural beauties of these mountains and meadows have been joined by human and divine beauties.
Anticipating the importance of the Bektashi order, in terms of later religious and human developments, especially in the Balkans, Ballem Sultan laid on a sound foundation especially the morals and ethics of the followers of Imam Ali, looking to every dervish or father, in first of all, the wise and knowledgeable man who belongs to the best traditions of the faith.
Let me bring you four lapidary verses of this saint:
To all believers when they are united,
Hynqari’s hand when they have shaken,
They have turned away from evil deeds,
If you love Ali, don’t bother me in wound!
Let me express my respect for Father Hysni Shehu, who, although in difficult terrains, walks in the footsteps of the best clerics of these tekkes. It is my pleasure to thank him today for the work done, as well as the commitment to our tariqat.
I also express deep respect today for the council of the Martanesh tekke, for its myhibs and benefactors, who even in difficult times, keep alive our most valuable traditions.
God bless you all!
Amin!
