Question: I
am a memorizer of the Qur’ān. Sometimes, at night, it happens that some thing
presses me. It is felt that I am awake, but the strength of defense against
that thing becomes entirely seized. And during this, it happens that if I put
my hand in my mouth and bite the finger with teeth, then it seems as if there
is no blood in my hand. And sometimes during this, I cry, but no voice comes
out—terrifying sounds emerge. If someone calls out, release happens quickly;
otherwise, according to my estimation, I remain afflicted in this torment for
at least five minutes. Before sleeping at night, the six Kalimahs, Sūrah
al-Fātiḥah,
the initial verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah, Āyat al-Kursī till the end of its
section, and the final verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah are recited by all members of
our household as routine. In fact, in our family, a child is first taught to
memorize this, and the children also recite them. Yes, if along with these
routine practices Sūrah al-Jinn is also recited, then I remain completely well.
If, on any day, I forget to recite it and sleep early, then this pressure
necessarily occurs. After this pressure, I recite Sūrah al-Jinn and then
sleep—that is, Sūrah al-Jinn must be recited. Kindly instruct a reply.
Answer: When you remain well by reciting Sūrah al-Jinn, then do recite Sūrah al-Jinn. What is there to be worried about?
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.
