Question:
For
several years, I have been afflicted with a persistent dermatological condition
characterized by chronic pruritus. Despite consultations with numerous esteemed
specialists, no sustainable remedy has been achieved. The manifestation of the
disorder primarily involves intense itching localized at the hair follicles
across my body, although the skin surface appears clinically unremarkable.
Certain regions, particularly the chest and scalp, exhibit mild erythema. A
distinctive symptom is the exudation of a white, granular secretion from the
scalp follicles, resembling semolina, which subsequently hardens and
exacerbates the itching. Consequently, I have experienced total alopecia of the
scalp, and more recently, hair loss has commenced in the eyebrows and beard.
Having exhausted conventional treatments, I now seek recourse through your
spiritual and psychological guidance.
Answer:
It
is advised to abstain entirely from the consumption of red chili and all forms
of meat, including eggs. Additionally, a strict reduction of sodium (salt)
intake in daily meals is essential. Each night before sleep, ingest one
tablespoon of pure olive oil. Concurrently, perform a full-body massage with
olive oil, allowing the oil to be absorbed for approximately one hour before
bathing. Refrain from using synthetic soaps; instead, cleanse the body with
natural chickpea flour (besan). For bathing, prepare a decoction by thoroughly
boiling neem leaves in water and use this infusion for purification. Should
neem leaves be unavailable, Dettol may be added to the bathwater as an
alternative.
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.
