Question:
It
has now been approximately ten months since I entered into matrimony with a
woman estimated to be 36 or 37 years of age. She had previously undergone two
marital unions, both of which were legally dissolved through divorce.
Subsequent to her relocation to my residence, she began experiencing episodes
of intense fits, during which she would collapse to the floor and exclaim,
"I cannot remain here—I must go to the shrine of Shah Aqeeq." I
eventually accompanied her to the aforementioned shrine, where she has now
taken up residence continuously for the past five months. She categorically
refuses to return to our home, claiming to be under the influence of esoteric
practices—specifically, spiritual bindings and talismans (taʿwīdh and related
rituals). She reports that, upon entering the house, she experiences an
overwhelming urge to rend her garments and flee. This behavior is not
unprecedented. During her initial stay in the home, she repeatedly engaged in
similar actions, at times necessitating physical restraint using iron chains.
Following the application of traditional amulets and spiritual interventions,
she appeared to improve. However, since the solemnization of our marriage, I
have encountered increasing financial hardship. Several individuals familiar
with the situation have advised that continued association with this woman may
result in enduring adversity. Despite this, I remain deeply emotionally
attached to her and experience profound melancholy in her absence. She, too,
pleads that I not initiate divorce, asserting that such a separation would
precipitate mutual ruin. Whenever I urge her to return to our shared residence,
she becomes visibly distraught and begins to weep.
Answer:
You
are advised to visit the shrine of Shah Aqeeq and remain there for a period of
time. During your stay, it is recommended that you engage in the regular
recitation of Durud Sharif. After the Fajr and Isha prayers, sit facing the
right side of the shrine and engage in focused meditation (Muraqaba). Through
sustained concentration, when you attain mental clarity, seek an encounter with
the spirit of Shah Aqeeq and request their intercession in prayer. It is
expected, Inshallah, that this approach will lead to a resolution of your
concerns in the most effective manner.
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.
