Question: My
younger brother, who is ten years old, went to Saddar (Karachi) with our mother
about a month ago. At the bus stop, he became so terrified by the horn of a bus
that his limbs went numb, his throat dried up, and his complexion turned pale.
Since then, his throat has remained dry, and he drinks water constantly. He experiences
frequent urges to urinate. Our mother immediately took him to the hospital, but
the doctors declared him normal.
However,
within a day or two, he experienced the same episode again. Once more, his
limbs went numb, his throat dried up. A peculiar symptom is that if a
particular song was playing during the episode, he begins to cry upon hearing
that same song again. These episodes intensify especially in the mornings—his
eyelids become heavy, and the attack begins. He remains in a constant state of
fear and holds the obsessive belief that he is under some influence. Because of
a sensation of suffocation, he keeps walking restlessly. He complains
intermittently of abdominal pain, chest pain, and headaches. His ECG is normal,
and both urine and blood tests are also normal. Yet he continually checks his
heartbeat by placing his hand on his chest. His heartbeat becomes so rapid that
its sound can be clearly heard. We cannot bear to witness his condition.
Answer: Gather
numerous peacock feathers and carefully separate the quill from each. From the
remaining patterned feathers, inscribe the Qur’anic verse:
"مَا
كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى"
"The heart did not deny what it saw."
(Qur’an
53:11)
Have
this verse written by a calligrapher using broad nibs in a double-line script
on glossy paper. The space between the double lines should be wide enough to
allow the peacock feathers to be affixed within them comfortably. Mount this
white sheet onto a black velvet fabric and have it framed. Instruct the child
to gaze upon this verse repeatedly at intervals throughout the day and night. In
terms of dietary recommendations, increase the intake of sweet foods.
Specifically, just before sunset in the late afternoon, give him approximately
one-sixteenth of a kilogram of freshly warmed jalebi. The jalebi
should not be cold and must be rich in syrup.
Based
on the principle of combining spiritual remedy and physical treatment (du‘ā
and dawā’), this therapy, God willing, will eliminate the abnormality
within forty days.
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.
