Kabir Dede recently received the following message from Faruk Hemdem Çelebi, which we share with our community:
“Due to my current health condition, I wish to express my decision that my son, Mehmet Celâleddin Çelebi, should succeed me as Makam Çelebi and continue to fulfil this spiritual responsibility.”
Faruk Hemdem Çelebi
22nd-Generation Descendant of Hz. Mevlânâ
33rd Makam Çelebi

We hold Faruk Çelebi Efendi in our prayers for healing and well-being, and Mehmet Celâleddin Çelebi Efendi for strength and guidance as he steps into this role. Ameen.
