Lunch that day was held in the Istanbul's Naqshbandi-Haqqani Zawiya. Eager students and followers greeted Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham. |  |
 |
The mosque was so packed with students, family and well-wishers of Shaykh Nazim, that many had to pray the noon prayers, Salat al-Dhuhr, outside on the porch. | |
 |
After prayers, women look on from an upstairs balcony (a standard feature of Turkish mosques) as the men greet the Shaykhs and then each other in turn. |  |
 |
In the Zawiya kitchen huge pots are on the
fire as the cooks churn out massive amounts of delicious 'dervish'
food, which was then served to the gathered crowd.
And for after-dinner, tea is under preparation. |
 |
 |
Dinner is served. Amazingly, after everyone had eaten their fill, there was still food left over. |  |
 |
Night prayers, Salat al-Isha, behind the Master. Following the night prayers, Salat al-Isha and sunnah prayers, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim addresses the gathered congregation with a message of love and peace. |
