Question:
My middle son, who is about twenty-two years old, was very righteous and
obedient until recently. He had love in his heart for everyone. However, now,
his association with bad company has caused him to deteriorate. He no longer
listens to anyone, even his parents. Despite all efforts, both gentle and
stern, to guide him, he only does what he desires. His association with these
bad boys has led him to addiction. When we try to stop him, he gets angry,
starts shouting, and even threatens to kill himself. He blames himself. His
health, which was once good, has deteriorated significantly. On a few
occasions, his elder brother caught him using heroin, and he claimed, “I am not
addicted, I just took a few puffs occasionally when a friend offered it.” I
informed him about the dangerous effects of addiction and the consequences of
associating with bad company, and explained everything with kindness,
affection, strictness, and reprimanding. Yet, he remains unmoved. Now, he has
even lost interest in work and chores. I humbly request that you provide a
spiritual remedy so that my son returns to the righteous path and regains his
love and affection for the family. May he abandon all his bad habits, and may I
find peace from this painful distress.
Answer:
When your son is deep in sleep at night, recite Surah Al-Lahab (the 111th
Surah) 19 times and, focusing on his image, blow over him. Do this for forty
days, along with providing him with professional medical treatment to help him
break his addiction. After his treatment, take him to a different city so that
he remains away from his harmful companions for at least three months. During
his treatment in the hospital, ensure that a family member stays with him 24/7.
This is crucial as his friends may visit under the guise of concern and give
him drugs, preventing his recovery. Additionally, paint a piece of white glass,
around 9 to 12 inches, with blue color, and show it to your son repeatedly.
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.
