Dear brothers, clerics, myhibans, benefactors and followers of the Ahl al-Bayt, all over the world!
Today is the first day of fasting in the great month of Ramadan, and this gives me the opportunity to greet you all and convey the best wishes to your families!
The Bektashi Holy See here in Tirana, is following with natural attention and concern the events that come from this so painful pandemic, praying to the Supreme God to give us the will to go through this tragedy and return to the previous life.With all the blessings He has forgiven us. Even in these situations, we have been able to spread love, brotherhood and food aid to the most needy families, regardless of whose faith they belong to, but convinced that we are sons of one God.
As rarely in the history of Islam, this month we can not be close to each other. But this fact, this forced innovation from the pandemic, can neither stop us from praying nor fasting spiritually and physically.
On the contrary, in the solitude of our tekkes, of our houses, we will be close to the attention and feast of Allah. On our lips will remain dozens of prayers from the Supreme Qur’an, which has come down as mercy for the worlds this month. The precious jewels of the wisdom of Imam Ali, who came to this pure world and departed divine, will stay in our minds. We will be united spiritually even more with each other on the night of Honor, the substance of which is the deepest devotion to the Creator who gave us spirit and light in our hearts.
Muslim brothers and sisters!
Despite the situation we are going through, I am convinced that the glorious month of Ramadan will give us hope and strength to see the light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how sophisticated the Covud-19 may be, it cannot overwhelm us, because the strength and faith with which our Creator has endowed and told us their vitality throughout human history.
Let us unite in the days of this prosperous month even more hopeful about the Creator, let us purify our souls, our thoughts, our words and our behaviors, rising to other heights of love and solidarity for one another!
God bless you all!
Amin!
