Spiritual Healing
Question:
For roughly six years, my elder brother has resided
outside our household with an acquaintance. Our previous house was modest; he
initially moved there under the pretext of preparing for his Bachelor of Arts
examinations, yet he remained permanently. The friend's residence was near
ours, allowing him to visit during daytime hours, though he invariably returned
there to sleep. My father initially enforced strict discipline, prompting him
to stay home for a night or two before fleeing again.
When our family purchased a spacious new home, our
father sent my brother ahead so he might grow accustomed to the new
environment; the moment the household moved in, he fled once more. Every
measure has been exhausted, yet his heart finds no peace within our home. Six
months ago, he gained employment; we hoped he would return, yet he merely
handed his initial paycheck to our mother and has not contributed a single
penny since. Our household lacks nothing materially. Our supreme longing is for
him to return home, marry, and restore domestic joy. My mother’s health
deteriorates under grief. He visits briefly like an aloof stranger and departs.
Answer:
The difficulty in this case is that the underlying
reality compelling your brother to shun the parental hearth cannot be disclosed
openly; laying bare the psychological or circumstantial facts would trigger
severe shockwaves within the family.
Placing unreserved trust in Allah Almighty, recite Āyat
al-Kursī up to the word al-‘Aẓīm 41 times following the completion of the Isha prayer,
and supplicate earnestly. May Allah Almighty guide him onto the straight and
righteous path.
