Question:
I
had been diligent in performing the five obligatory prayers and consistently
engaging in the recitation of the Qur'an. However, for the past two years, I
have found myself experiencing a profound disinterest in both the performance
of prayers and the recitation of the Qur'an. My longing is to return to the
same level of devotion and commitment that I once had in my religious
practices.
Answer: It
is essential to rise early each morning, regardless of the circumstances. For a
sustained period of ninety days, ensure the regular performance of the Fajr
prayer in congregation. Upon completion of the congregational prayer, dedicate
time to the recitation of the Qur'an, even if only in brief intervals, while
seated in the mosque courtyard. Following a consistent practice for one hundred
days, this routine will become deeply ingrained, ultimately establishing a
lasting commitment to both the prayer and the recitation of the Qur'an.
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.
