Question: A
relative of mine frequently experiences the disturbing sensation of insects
crawling along his legs, feet, and lower back. Additionally, he reports
persistent needle-like pricks throughout his body. Despite having pursued all
possible therapeutic avenues, including the wearing of amulets and the
recitation of wazayef (spiritual litanies), no permanent relief has been
attained. Kindly prescribe an intervention that may offer enduring recovery.
Answer:
Advise the aforementioned individual to rise at dawn and perform the Fajr
prayer. Thereafter, he should embark upon a boat while continually reciting Sūrat
al-Falaq. The crossing must occur in complete silence, from one riverbank
to the other—verbal communication during this passage is strictly prohibited.
Upon reaching the opposite shore, he is to face the East, assume a squatting
posture near the river’s edge, and inscribe the names
“Hāmān,
Hārūt, and Mārūt”
هامانُ، هارُوتُ، مارُوتُ
upon the ground using his index finger. Immediately upon completion, he must efface the inscriptions with his own hand. This rite—comprising both the inscription and subsequent erasure—must invariably be executed prior to sunrise. Should this procedure prove impracticable, an alternate method involves observing one’s own facial reflection in the water of a well located outside populated areas. For those residing in Karachi, this act may be enacted by traveling via boat from Kiamari to Manora and performing the designated ritual upon the coastline. Likewise, residents of Lahore may cross from one bank of the Ravi River to the other. Those dwelling near other rivers may adapt accordingly. If, God forbid, the individual is indeed afflicted by magical influence (seḥr) or occult interference, this prescribed action is efficacious in dissolving such effects. The performance of this spiritual intervention requires no prior authorization and is universally permitted. May Allah the Almighty be our Guardian and Sustainer.
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.
