Question:
For the past seven years, I have been afflicted by a perplexing ailment that
has eluded diagnosis and comprehension. Upon awakening from sleep, I experience
sudden convulsive jerks accompanied by involuntary screams. My limbs undergo
spasmodic rigidity, and my tongue often becomes injured as it is caught between
my teeth. Post-episode, I suffer from transient amnesia, rendering me unable to
recall prior thoughts or comprehend conversations. Following such episodes, an
intense sensation of coldness overtakes my body.
Answer:
In conjunction with ongoing medical treatment, it is strongly recommended that
you engage in the continuous silent invocation (dhikr) of "Yā Salāmo"
(O Source of Peace) throughout daily activities—whether walking, sitting, or
during the state of ablution (wuḍūʼ) and even without it. From a
metaphysical perspective, it is observed that subsequent to the subsiding of
the sun’s
heat, as the period of solar decline (zawāl)
commences, a toxic emission from the earth's surface occurs. This gaseous
release is believed to be highly detrimental, capable of perturbing the human
nervous system and potentially inducing convulsive phenomena. A
spiritually-focused engagement during this critical time, particularly through
deep concentration in the performance of the Zuhr (noon) prayer, enables the
luminous spiritual radiations of the prayer to shield the individual against
the deleterious effects of the noxious gases. It is thus advised that during
Zuhr prayer, you prolong the prostrations (sujūd), reciting "Subḥāna Rabbī
al-A‘lā- سبحان ربی الاعلیٰ
" ("Glory be to my Lord, the Most High") not
merely three times, but elevating the recitation to eleven times in each
prostration.
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.
