Question:
It
has come to my attention that you previously advised, for a child who
experiences cessation of breath following intense crying episodes—resulting in
profound exhaustion—the practice of inscribing "Yā Ḥayy,
Yā Qayyūm" on the index finger and administering honey to the child for a
continuous period of twenty-one days. I respectfully submit that my son, aged
two years, exhibits a similar pattern: upon crying, he experiences delayed
resumption of breathing, accompanied by a complete loosening of the limbs and a
bluish discoloration of the lips. Physical stimulation, such as tapping the
back, only gradually restores normal respiration. I seek your guidance as to
whether I may employ the same therapeutic regimen for him.
Answer:
You
are advised to proceed with the aforementioned method for your child. By the
grace of Allah the Almighty, healing shall be granted, Inshāllah. Furthermore,
it is recommended that every night, once the child is in deep sleep, Sūrah
al-Falaq should be recited in a voice low enough not to disturb his rest,
continuing this practice for forty consecutive nights.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”
Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
