Question: My
brother, who grew up under my care since childhood after the martyrdom of our
father during the partition of the country, has been living with my husband and
me since my marriage. Although my husband is compassionate, he has a stern
disposition. He subjects my brother to excessive physical punishment,
particularly for academic reasons, to the extent that my brother’s hands and
feet swell and his ears become inflamed from the slaps. I am unable to tolerate
witnessing this. We do not have children of our own, and my husband lacks any
understanding of children's psychology. As a consequence, my brother began
concealing his faults from my husband. Despite much hardship, my brother
managed to pass his intermediate examinations, but his association with a
negative social environment led him
astray. When he returned home late, I would tell my husband falsehoods,
claiming that my brother had already gone to bed. Over time, my brother
developed a drinking habit, and despite my efforts to dissuade him, I was
unable to stop him. He is now a confirmed alcoholic and possibly engaged in
other harmful behaviors as well. He is older now, and I have not arranged his
marriage. He also shows no interest in marriage. Even if I were to arrange a
marriage for him, it would inevitably destroy the life of the woman involved.
Answer: When your brother is deeply asleep at night, you should sit in your room and recite the phrase "وَمَا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنهَرْ" three hundred times. As you do so, focus intently on your brother’s image and, after each recitation, gently blow in his direction. Then, without further discussion, retire to sleep. After a restful sleep, you may converse with him if needed.
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.
