Question: Approximately
four years ago, my health was excellent. My face radiated with a luminous glow,
my hair was long, thick, and beautiful, my complexion was fair, and my
personality was highly attractive—whomever saw me admired me. However, the
present condition is that neither my health remains good, nor does my face
retain its former radiance. For the past two years, my hair has been falling
out persistently, despite all efforts yielding no benefit. My complexion has
darkened considerably, and no trace of charm remains in my personality. My body
has grown so emaciated that bones have become prominent. People often comment,
"What has happened to you? You no longer appear to be the same girl."
Hearing such remarks moves me to tears. Observing my peers flourishing fills my
heart with profound anguish.
Despite
consulting numerous physicians, all medical reports, including blood tests,
have indicated normal health. Yet, when I observe myself, I feel as though I
have been suffering from a long, concealed illness. I humbly request you,
considering this matter as you would the concern for a daughter, to kindly
suggest a beneficial remedy. Although marriage proposals still arrive,
families, upon seeing me, often remark that there is nothing particularly
noteworthy about me—whereas previously, my hand was eagerly sought.
Answer: The
principal cause underlying your condition is persistent psychological stress,
which has led to chronic insomnia. In other words, you are deprived of the
fullness of restful sleep. It is also possible that you may be afflicted with a
feminine (gynecological) disorder. If you can attain rest and peace of mind,
your health is likely to be restored, God willing.
An effective method to overcome depression and mental turbulence is to develop
the practice of redirecting every thought and concern toward Allah the
Almighty. Allah states:
"And those firmly grounded in knowledge say, 'We believe; all is from
Allah.'" Consult a knowledgeable scholar to identify this Qur'anic
verse and make it a practice to recite it one hundred times after each
obligatory prayer for a duration of three months.
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.
