Question: I
am afflicted with a persistent tendency toward envy. Despite repeated efforts,
I have been unable to relinquish this inclination. I request a prescribed
spiritual regimen that may assist in eradicating this habit. Furthermore, I
find that during times of trial or tribulation, I am inwardly drawn toward
ritual prayer and resume its observance. However, once the affliction is
lifted, my heart turns away, and I become neglectful of prayer once more.
Answer:
Following the dawn (Fajr) prayer, or prior to retiring at night, recite
the following Qur’anic verse three hundred times:
نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللّٰہِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِیْبٌ
Upon
completion, gently blow upon yourself. Through the spiritual efficacy and
barakah (blessing) of this Quranic verse, it is anticipated that you shall be
delivered from the inner affliction of envy.
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.
