Question: This
is the first time I have dared to write. May Allah the Almighty allow this
letter to reach you. I am a deeply afflicted and distressed woman. The issue I
am facing is one that many women encounter in contemporary times. I am now
thirty years old and remain unmarried. My marriage had been arranged within my
own family, but at the final stage, the man withdrew. He developed an interest
in another woman and proceeded to marry her. He is now content with his wife
and children, while I was left devastated. He deceived not only me but also my
parents.
Answer: Each
night following the ‘Ishā prayer, recite Durūd Sharīf eleven times at
the beginning and end, and in between, recite “Yā Wahhāb” 313 times, and then
earnestly supplicate before Allah the Almighty. Additionally, make frequent
recitation of “Yā Ḥayy Yā Qayyūm”, whether in a state of
ablution or not, a regular part of your daily remembrance. Even when despair
overtakes us, ultimately we must lift our hands toward that One Reality—Allah
the Almighty. May Allah protect us—there is no second deity to turn to, as
though one door has closed and another may be knocked upon. Whenever possible,
day or night, with or without ablution, continue to recite “Yā Ḥayy
Yā Qayyūm.” Also, assist those in need and support the impoverished.
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.
