The Husband Resides in London/Marital Distress Due to Spousal Mental Illness

Question: I humbly seek your assistance, trusting in your compassion toward those burdened by sorrow. You have consistently shared in the afflictions of countless individuals like myself, and I turn to you in this hour of profound need.
It has been five years since my marriage, yet tranquility has eluded me from the beginning. During the initial three months, my husband’s behavior remained relatively stable; however, he soon began exhibiting erratic tendencies, including verbal abuse directed at my parents and incoherent discourse with his brothers. In response, his father arranged for his relocation to London. Seven months later, upon the birth of our daughter, my husband suffered a severe psychological breakdown: he removed the Qur
ʾān from our home, placed it upon the mosques wall, desecrated its covering, discarded sacred objects such as prayer mats and beads into the wilderness, and set aflame our curtains and religious texts. Following these alarming events, he was once again sent to London.
Presently, I find myself devoid of any familial support; my mother—my sole pillar of strength—has returned to her Creator. My infant daughter has now reached six months of age.

Answer: It is evident that your husband is afflicted with a significant psychiatric disorder necessitating formal clinical intervention. Reliance solely upon spiritual remedies would be insufficient; rather, a structured course of psychiatric treatment is imperative, potentially including inpatient care. Considering that your husband possesses British citizenship, it would be prudent to pursue his treatment in the United Kingdom, where superior medical resources are available. Rather than facilitating his return, it is advisable for you to make arrangements to join him in London and to personally oversee his treatment and rehabilitation. It is recommended that following each obligatory prayer, you recite one hundred and one times: "Yā Allāh, Yā Ramān, Yā Raīm- یا اللّٰہ یا رحمن یا رحیم ", and thereafter engage in heartfelt supplication for his recovery and well-being.

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.
