Question: I
am the youngest among my husband's multiple wives. The other spouses, though
average in physical appearance, do not rival me in terms of moral conduct,
personal decorum, and refinement. Nevertheless, they possess a certain
adeptness in cunning, deception, and manipulation. My co-wives hail from
affluent backgrounds, whereas I originate from a modest household. My husband,
unfortunately, has overlooked my intrinsic qualities and has ousted me from our
shared residence. At present, I am devoid of both a husband and a home. In
truth, I am left with nothing but emotional anguish. It is with considerable
distress and reluctance that I admit the following: my husband is excessively
indulgent in sensual pleasures and possesses an obsessive admiration for
physical beauty. His wealth allows him to travel frequently, both within major
cities and internationally, often accompanied by companions during these
journeys—yet his pursuit of gratification appears insatiable. Despite his
extravagant lifestyle, he continues to deprive me of fundamental rights and
necessities, remaining inattentive to my emotional and material needs, as well
as to the wellbeing of our child. I seek guidance regarding a spiritual
invocation (wazifa) that may incline my husband to renounce his harmful
inclinations and restore his affection and responsibility towards both me and
our child.
Answer:
As
you have noted, your husband is a man of considerable means and has multiple
spouses. It is evident that, despite his existing familial responsibilities,
your marriage to him was, to some extent, influenced by an aspiration for greed.
You could have chosen to marry a man of modest means as well. In affluent
households where religious observance is marginalised and a culture of
permissiveness prevails, the grievances you now raise—however legitimate—often
receive little recognition. Your present afflictions appear to stem from a
fundamental dissonance between your moral expectations and the environment in
which you find yourself. According to the divine principle articulated in the
Qur’ān—“There is no compulsion in religion”—human beings are granted autonomy
in choosing their life paths. You exercised that autonomy, and the consequences
now unfold accordingly. Nevertheless, it remains within the domain of Divine
Omnipotence to bring about inner transformation and reconciliation. Turn to
Allah the Almighty with heartfelt supplication and seek His assistance in
restoring harmony, dignity, and love in your life and in the life of your
child.
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.
