Early historyAhmet Kayhan was born in the Aktarlar (Mako) village of Malatya Province, Turkey in early 1898, although the Turkish government lists his official year of birth as 1905. His father died when he was a child, and his mother in his early youth. For some years he stayed with an aunt. Kayhan first met "Keko" (Ahmet Kaya Efendi), the man that would become his master, when he was only four or five years old. But his true discipleship began in his early twenties.He Adult lifeBy 1922 Kayhan was living in Istanbul, making routine trips to the cities of Ankara and Malatya. In 1936 he relocated to Ankara, where he met Hajar, whom he would marry on March 25, 1937. His longtime master Ahmet Efendi died in 1944. Musa Kâzim Ağel, who had the same master as Ahmet Kaya, continued to teach until his own death in 1967. After this, it was Ahmet Kayhan’s turn. He also gained the title "Dede", which actually means "Grandpa" and is appended to the name as an expression of loving respect as is customary towards elder relatives. Ahmet Kayhan spent the rest of his life in Ankara, teaching and enlightening those around him and the many disciples that came to visit him from the 1960s on. Line of descentKayhan's chain of transmission is traced through Muhammad, his close associate Abu Bakr, Abdul-Qadir Gilani, Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari, Ahmad Sirhindi, Abdullah Dehlewi, Khâlid-i Baghdâdî, Sheikh Samini, Osman Badruddin and Ahmet Kayhan Dede. Vision of World PeaceKayhan foresaw that nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), but basically nuclear ones, would bring about the end of humanity. To avert this cataclysm, he issued calls to world peace in the 1980s and 90s. One of these, An Invitation to Peace (1987), won widespread acclaim, among others from the Russian premier Gorbachev, the Vatican, the French president, as well as both the president and prime minister of Israel. Quotes″Allah (God), (with your sincerely) Let us bring peace to everywhere we go. Let us be uniters rather than dividers. Let us bring love where there is hate settled in. To the place where there is injury let us bring forgiveness and remedy. Let us, Bring belief & faith where there is doubt settled in. Bring hope where there is no hope left.
