Acute Post-Traumatic Amnesia and Shock-Induced Cognitive Dissociation

 Question:

My eighty-year-old father witnessed a catastrophic vehicular accident involving the traumatic death and cranial decapitation of a young child. Ever since beholding that scene, his memory has collapsed: he has forgotten the names of family members, cannot recall his daily prayers, and although he opens the Holy Quran, he weeps stating he can no longer read its script. Neurologists and cardiologists prescribed pharmaceuticals, estimating recovery within months. Is there a spiritual therapeutic intervention available?

Answer:

Maintain his prescribed medical therapeutics; his cognitive faculties will return by the grace of Allah. Alongside medical treatment, implement this spiritual therapy: while your father is in deep sleep at night, stand beside his head and recite softly the opening verses of Surah Al-Baqarah—from Alif-Lām-Mīm up to Yu’minūna bil-Ghayb—at a gentle volume that does not disrupt his slumber.

Remain entirely reassured; your father will recover his normal mental equilibrium, God willing. Charity averts calamity: purchase a healthy goat, slaughter it, distribute the meat entirely among the destitute, and donate the proceeds of the hide to charity.

Executive Inconsistency, Moral Scrupulosity, and Orange Light Meditation

 

 Question:

My persistent struggle is a total lack of steadfastness and executive consistency; I yearn to cultivate enduring resolve. Furthermore, while I interact with everyone—whether kin, stranger, friend, or adversary—with profound courtesy, whenever someone smiles and converses warmly with me, an intrusive suspicion arises that their warmth is entirely artificial, merely returned because I showed them civility. I do not claim extraordinary divine love, yet I remember God ceaselessly. I observe the five daily prayers, fasts, and Quranic recitation punctually, yet I persistently condemn myself as wretchedly sinful; whenever a noble deed presents itself, I deliberate hundreds of times, doubting my capacity to fulfill it. Kindly grant me authorization to practice meditation (Murāqabah) and instruct its exact method.

Answer:

Engage continually in the invocation of Yā Ḥayyu Yā Qayyūm (یَا حَیُّ یَا قَیُّوْمُ) while walking, standing, and resting, with or without ritual ablution. At night before retiring to sleep, recite Yā Rabbur-Raḥīm (یَا رَبُّ الرَّحِیْمُ) once, close your eyes, assume the liturgical posture of prayer (tashahhud), and visualize a radiant beam of vibrant orange light entering the crown of your cranium and absorbing deeply into your brain.

Practice this contemplative exercise for ten minutes daily. Following both daily meals, consume a wholesome sweet delicacy without fail. Upon completing the meditation, drift into sleep without uttering speech to anyone.
