Question:
I
seek a spiritual practice (wazifah) that can be recited at night before sleep,
which will assist in alleviating my fear of death.
Answer:
To
address this existential anxiety, a spiritual practice is proposed that
integrates both physical and mental aspects for comprehensive healing. Upon
waking, prior to sunrise, take a sip of water and, using a dropper, place one
drop of this water into half a chestnut (roughly a small handful) of water.
Then, transfer a single drop of this water into another half chestnut of water.
Subsequently, take a drop from this mixture and place it on a spoonful of pure,
unadulterated honey. Consume the honey in the morning on an empty stomach,
ensuring to refrain from ingesting anything else for at least thirty minutes
afterward. Before consuming the honey, recite the phrase “Inna Lillahi wa Inna
Ilaihi Raji'oon- إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ”
once, reflecting upon its profound meaning, which invokes a sense of surrender
to the divine and acceptance of life’s cyclical nature. This practice should be
maintained for a duration of two months, incorporating a reduction of salt in
meals by one-quarter.
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.
