[Dar-al-Masnavi] Re: Sufi Master or Pir

As-salâmu `alaykum,
Thank you very much for the video link to the Mevlevi shaykh in
Konya. He is my friend, Nadir Karnibüyükler Efendi, with whom I spent
most of last Ramadan in Konya. His Qur'anic Arabic is excellent (he
memorized the Qur'an earlier in his life), but I don't think he speaks
much Arabic. He is a wonderful shaykh who gives dervish training to
his students (who are mainly his semazens at the present time). The
man interviewed in the white shirt is his semazenbashi (or "chief of
the whirlers"), Ali. There is a nice sequence of semazens whirling in
the "Shems mosque", formerly a Mevlevi center [tekke] in Konya that
contains a (green covered) tomb claimed to be that of Shams-i
Tabrizi. The mosque where the semazens are whirling is the historic
Kapu Jami, in Konya, where Mevlana Rumi prayed.

Ths Mevlevi shaykh who speaks the best Arabic is Hüseyin Erek Efendi,
who is an imam and Hâfizu 'l-Qur'ân at the Shishli mosque in the
Shishli district of Istanbul.
