Question: We,
along with our household, hold Roohani Digest in deep regard and are
sincerely grateful for your efforts in guiding people toward the path of
righteousness. I find myself once again writing to you, hoping for your kind
assistance. My mother suffers from persistent illness—barely has one ailment
subsided when another arises. She frequently experiences severe headaches, at
times accompanied by an intense, radiating pain that extends from one side of
her head down through the corresponding half of her body, more often on the
right. Her temperament tends toward irritability, which becomes especially
pronounced when her condition worsens. I humbly request that you prescribe a
remedy that might bring her enduring relief from these chronic headaches.
Answer: Take
a soft cotton handkerchief and recite the following upon it:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
رَضَیْنَا
بِاالْقَضَیْنَا فَاتُؤا بُرْهَانَ اَلْفَ مَرَّۃٍ
Then
gently blow upon it and tie a knot. Place the handkerchief around the head in
such a manner that the knot rests above the auricle. Apply it early each
morning, and before sleeping at night, remove it briefly, then tie it again.
This practice should be continued for several days. It is perfectly acceptable
to remove the handkerchief during ablution or bathing. By the grace of Allah,
the Almighty, this remedy shall bring your mother relief from her persistent
headaches.
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.
