Question: My
brother is presently undergoing a period of profound psychological distress. He
remains perpetually absorbed in his thoughts, and his physical health is
progressively deteriorating. The primary factor contributing to his condition
appears to be a friend to whom he is deeply attached. This individual, however,
exhibits extreme self-centeredness. Due to my brother’s affection, our entire
family extends considerable respect toward this person, yet he responds with
indifference, often speaking to my brother discourteously and treating him in a
demeaning manner before others. Despite enduring such disrespect, my brother,
instead of resting after a day of exhaustion, seeks out this self-serving
acquaintance each evening and returns home late into the night. A matter of
grave concern is that, notwithstanding the friend's persistent neglect, my
brother continues to detach himself emotionally from his family and is
increasingly drawn toward this detrimental relationship. I humbly and earnestly
request that you suggest a spiritual intervention, so that we may recover the
brother we have emotionally lost. Otherwise, his future risks severe harm, and
the emotional anguish it would cause our parents would be immeasurable.
Answer: Provided
that your brother's mental state remains sufficiently stable, recite Āyat
al-Kursī (up to the phrase ʿAẓīm)
forty-one times each night prior to sleep. Blow gently upon water, milk, or
tea, and administer it for him to drink regularly.
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.
