Question: My
seventeen-year-old daughter has been afflicted with a neurological and
psychological condition for the past eight years. The onset occurred during her
third year of primary school when, quite suddenly, she lapsed into silence,
began pacing ceaselessly, and frequently exhibited signs of inexplicable fear.
She would lose control of her bladder irrespective of place or awareness.
Thereafter, she began experiencing violent outbursts—screaming uncontrollably
and, in states of delirium, physically assaulting her younger siblings. At
present, she often reports seeing bizarre and terrifying apparitions, insisting
that someone is trying to harm her, and demands that member of the household
leave. Throughout these eight years, we have sought the expertise of eminent
psychiatrists and neurologists. Although treatment is ongoing, it has yielded
no meaningful improvement. I humbly request a spiritual prescription that might
reintegrate her fragmented personality and return her to a state of conscious
awareness.
Answer:
Procure a healthy ram and shear its wool, setting the wool aside. Dig a pit in
raw, untouched earth, and place the wool within it. If the entirety of the wool
cannot be accommodated, place in the pit as much as will fit. Slaughter the ram
in such a manner that its blood is fully absorbed by the wool. Allow the wool
to dry in the shade, then place it in an unglazed earthen vessel—one that is
spacious and open-mouthed to allow for proper air circulation. Distribute the
ram’s meat, hide, head, and feet as charity.
Each
night, prior to sleep, ignite a portion of the wool in the room where the
patient resides, using smoldering charcoal as the medium of combustion. The
complete quantity of wool is to be gradually incinerated over a duration of
ninety days. Before each session of combustion, recite “Bismillāh al-Raḥmān
al-Raḥīm”
eleven times with due reverence. Throughout the course of this regimen, the
patient must strictly abstain from the intake of excessively salty, pungent,
acidic, or constipating substances.
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.
