Question: Respected
Azeemi Sahib, With deep reverence and a sincere appeal, I present before you a
grave medical concern pertaining to my younger brother, with the hope that you
will kindly lend your attention and offer guidance in accordance with your
spiritual and scientific insight.
Allah
the Almighty has blessed me with two brothers. My younger brother, a Bachelor
of Commerce graduate, experienced his first neurological episode three years
ago. On the day of the incident, he returned home following the Ẓuhr
prayer. Upon entering his room, he encountered a chameleon and attempted to
strike it with a stick. The chameleon evaded, but immediately thereafter, he
collapsed and exhibited classical convulsive symptoms—frothing at the mouth,
ocular deviation, muscular rigidity, and complete loss of consciousness. Approximately
fifteen minutes later, he regained partial consciousness, presenting with
hyperemic eyes, acute cephalgia, a lacerated tongue from involuntary jaw
clenching, and a dislocated shoulder. This was initially perceived as an
isolated traumatic incident. However, exactly three months later, the same
constellation of symptoms recurred, confirming the episodic and cyclical nature
of his condition. These seizures—accompanied by neurological trauma such as
shoulder dislocation and oral injuries—continued to manifest with variable
intervals ranging from three to seven months, sometimes occurring during sleep
or in vulnerable states such as bathing. Each episode posed the risk of
physical harm due to sudden collapse. Over the years, we sought intervention
from all available disciplines—neurologists, general physicians, traditional
herbalists, homeopaths, and spiritual healers. The prevailing medical consensus
classified the condition as epilepsy, emphasizing its incurability but suggesting
pharmacological management. Conversely, some spiritual authorities attributed
the seizures to metaphysical causes, such as possession or spirit affliction.
However, no intervention yielded permanent relief. Subsequently, he was
evaluated at the Aga Khan University Hospital. A battery of diagnostic
investigations reaffirmed the diagnosis of epilepsy. Antiepileptic medication
was prescribed, which proved effective in suppressing seizure activity for
approximately seven months. However, during a subsequent episode, he reported
acute abdominal and cranial pain. His eyes turned red, and he attempted to
rest. Shortly after rising to attend to a task on the staircase, he lost
consciousness and fell onto a cemented surface, precipitating a violent
seizure. This episode was particularly severe—accompanied by profuse bleeding
from the ear, nasal cavity, and oral cavity, followed by hematemesis in the
form of large clots. He experienced multiple seizures en route to the hospital,
where he remained unconscious for over two hours before regaining consciousness
after emergency intervention. This time, a novel symptom emerged: dislocation
of the right arm (previously unaffected). He was admitted to the ICU for two
days and remained hospitalized for an additional three. Though intermittently
conscious and able to recognize close relatives, he exhibited severe asthenia
due to hemorrhagic loss and reported complete hearing loss in the affected ear.
Upon discharge and returning home, he washed his scalp with warm water and went
to sleep. Upon awakening, he presented with facial asymmetry: the left side of
his face was paralyzed, dental occlusion was impaired, and he was unable to
blink with one eye. These signs suggested acute idiopathic facial palsy (Bell's
Palsy). Physicians attributed this to vascular irregularities in cerebral
perfusion. Nutritional and neuro-supportive injections were initiated, and the
dosage of antiepileptic medication was significantly increased.
Answer: Given
that this correspondence originates from Karachi, it is recommended that the
patient be brought in for a comprehensive, in-person for assessment. Based on my
assessment condition appears to be a form of epilepsy. The bleeding may be
attributable to the excessive use of potent medications. The practitioner
suggests that the condition is due to the influence of malevolent spirits,
afflictions, or jinn. This assertion is not accurate. The index
episode—initiated while attempting to strike a chameleon—may have triggered an
acute psychogenic and neurological response. The intensity of fear or
psychological shock likely acted as a catalyst, activating latent epileptogenic
zones within the brain. This resulted in hyper-synchronous neuronal
discharge—akin to a neural storm—where cerebral electrical impulses converged
in a disorganized manner, overriding the brain's regulatory mechanisms. Such a
breakdown in electrochemical homeostasis may be conceptualized as the cerebral
equivalent of electrical ‘overcrowding’ or surge, which in neurophysiology
manifests as a seizure. A preliminary telephonic consultation prior to any
in-person meeting is advised for logistical and clinical coordination.
Question: I
have a profound admiration for beautiful faces, yet an unfortunate irony
persists in my case: my own face appears lackluster, pale, and devoid of
radiance. This causes me to frequently experience the neglect of others. It is
well-known that prolonged and consistent disregard can lead to a diminishment
of one's self-esteem. I ardently wish to transform my face into one that is
captivating, attractive, and alluring.

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.
