Question: Driven
by inner conflict, I humbly present a brief reflection that naturally gives
rise to several questions. I hope you will kindly address this thirst of mine
with a concise response—one that may also benefit many among the readers. It
seems that throughout history, satanic forces have often prevailed upon the
earth, or at least their influence has been more keenly perceived.
Have
the unfeeling always outnumbered the sensitive, or has the world been
consistently dominated by the indifferent? Does a person of delicate
temperament remain afflicted with restlessness in both this world and the
Hereafter? Why are such individuals often compelled toward actions that
resemble individual or collective self-destruction? Who bears the true
responsibility for this state—the individual, the society, or those in power?
And on the Day of Judgment, from whom will accountability be sought?
Answer: It
is generally understood that a single match struck in utter darkness dispels
the gloom instantly. But to cast darkness upon the brilliance of daylight
requires deliberate obstruction—windows must be shut, curtains drawn, skylights
sealed, and every crevice covered with care.
The
implication is profound: eliminating darkness demands far less effort than
extinguishing light. Ultimately, it is the forces of Divine Mercy (Raḥmānī
quwwat) that prevail in the world. The entire record of human history bears
witness to this truth—whenever satanic and destructive powers have surged
forth, they have always met their end, leaving behind only faint echoes upon
the scrolls of time. The demise of the tyrants—Shaddād, Nimrūd, and Pharaoh—is
inscribed in the annals of history. In recent memory, the fate of the King of
Iran offers a vivid lesson: despite all his might, he died a destitute
wanderer, denied even a grave in his homeland.
To possess a sensitive nature is commendable—but one must discern the direction of that sensitivity. If sensitivity leads toward constructive purpose, it becomes a light in this world and the Hereafter. But if it leans toward destruction and the self is estranged from the straight path, it becomes a form of darkness. Light is a symbol of creation; darkness, of destruction. Construction is the hallmark of Divine Grace; destruction, the mark of satanic influence.
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.
