Sheik Mehmet Adil, son of the late Sheik Nazım Kıbrısi, expressed his gratitude for the diligence of the university and students for organizing such an event. “If you ask me about Sheik Nazım, I would say he was the one we needed.  With his knowledge of physical and spiritual world, he was one of those rare people that we could call “the successor of the prophet” said Adil and emphasized the fact that Sheik Nazım had always given so much importance to the eternal life in his talks.

Sadıkoğlu from MUSIAD said that it is difficult to describe him; everyone has had a memory about the Sheik and he has a very important place in people’s hearts. Sadıkoğlu stated that besides having taught people, Sheik Nazım won people’s hearts via his small talks.
