Psychology / Excessive crying since birth

Question: My child is presently six and a half months old. Since birth, he has exhibited excessive crying. We consulted multiple physicians; some prescribed medications for his ears, others for his digestive system, yet no significant improvement was observed. A specialist was also consulted; however, the child's condition remained unresolved. Currently, although there has been a noticeable reduction in crying, he habitually maintains his arms and legs in a contracted position. Despite having reached six months of age, he is unable to sit independently, and his legs appear notably weak. He does not consistently respond to auditory stimuli; sometimes he does not vocalize at all. When objects are presented before him, he may coincidentally glance at them but makes no effort to reach out or grasp. Attempts to elicit a smile through physical gestures occasionally succeed. However, minor sounds often startle him, and even during sleep, he exhibits restlessness. He does not attain restful sleep unless a pillow supports his legs and abdomen, and he continues to display similar behavior upon awakening. One specialist has posited that the condition stems from insufficient oxygen supply to the brain cells at the time of birth, resulting in cellular weakness. Another has suggested that a postnatal fever may have adversely impacted his cerebral functions. The precise etiology remains uncertain. I earnestly beseech you to propose a remedial course of action by considering this as you would the matter of a daughter, so that my son may regain full health.

Answer: It is advised that the child be placed under therapeutic treatment based on para-psychological principles supplemented by spiritual practices. The child should sleep in an environment illuminated by blue light throughout the night. Install a blue bulb in the room to maintain consistent illumination.
Additionally, procure a large photograph of the child, measuring 10×12 inches, and affix it firmly onto a rigid board, securing all four corners with pins to ensure it remains immobile. Once the child has entered deep sleep each night, use a black pencil to draw concentric circles continuously on the photograph for ten minutes, measured precisely with a clock. It is permissible for the circles to overlap; even if the photograph eventually becomes entirely darkened, the treatment remains effective. However, if the photograph is scratched or torn, it must be replaced immediately.
The duration of this therapeutic regimen is five months and ten days. Concurrently, administer honey to the child twice daily and offer one high-quality date at bedtime. In addition, each morning, recite the following Qur'anic supplication:

"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is Allah—the Creator, the Originator, the Fashioner; to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names."

(Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem. Huwa Allahu al-Khaliqu al-Baari’u al-Musawwir. Lahu al-Asma' al-Husna)

بسم اللّٰه الرحمن الرحیم۔ ھُوَ اللّٰهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِیُ الْمُصَّوِرُ لَہٗ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنیٰ

After recitation, blow lightly upon water and have the child drink from it.

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.
