Bismilahi Rrahmani Rrahim!
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
Dear Bektashi believers in Përmet!
Dear my friends of the Bubës tekke!
Dear sons, daughters and mother Sania, of the Zaimaj family!
It is a special pleasure for me to wish and bless you on the glorious jubilee of the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Bubës tekke.
May you always be under the help of God, the Imams, the Bektashi dervishes and fathers!
The tekke of Bubës is undoubtedly in the line of those Albanian hearths which realized that the independence of the homeland can be achieved only with rifles and pens. Especially at the beginning of the last century this tekke became a hearth of patriotism. Baba Aliu gave a completely national spirit to that tekke by offering love, peace, bread and bullets to the squads of the Përmet fighters, to those men who put the interests of the nation first. In complete unity with the decisions taken by the fathers of the tekkes of Frashër, Alipostivan, Përmet, Prishtina, Gjirokastra, the tekke of Bubës was always ready to wait and accompany together with prominent patriots the boys they wanted to learn to read and write.
The people of Bubës never spared their help for father Ali, who increased and expanded the tekke, decorated its land not only with the teachings of Haxhi Bektash Veliu but also with his love for Përmet and all of Albania.
Deep gratitude for the outstanding work of Father Ali as well as all the fathers and dervishes of Albania!
Deep gratitude to all those Bektashi believers of Përmet who filled the yards of the tekkes at all times and enriched our tariqat with the most valuable features!
Undoubtedly, a deep gratitude goes today to the Zaimaj family, to those golden descendants of Father Ali, who give life and spirit to the religious heritage of this tekke.
Let us once again enjoy this day together and pray to the Almighty God that in a special way, such days will be days of call for the younger generation not to leave the homeland, to be at the forefront of sacrifice to overcome challenges times.
God bless you all!
Amin!
THE WORLD GRANDFATHER OF THE BEKTASHIS
