Question: We
are extremely worried, and the cause of worry is a certain Peer Sahib. The
story is such that three days ago, a Peer Sahib entered our home. He introduced
himself as spiritual guide of your brother who resides in Multan, and he has
requested me to meet you people in Karachi so that I may find a remedy for your
troubles."
We
invited him inside. At that time, father and all other family members were
present at home. It was morning. Two boys had also come with the elderly man
from Multan. One of the boys said, "Our Peer Sahib’s method of kashf
(unveiling) is somewhat different." Saying this, he listed a considerable
inventory of items and said that these things should be brought from the
market. Among the items were: seven yards of cloth, one new large steel bucket,
one new bed, eight clay lamps, and nails. These items were provided by spending
a good amount of money. A bed was set up in a room. Peer Sahib sat on it and
began reading something. As soon as he started reading, he fell on the bed. We
became worried, fearing that perhaps his soul had departed, but his disciple said,
“All is well. Actually, an elder(buzrg) has now entered into him. Ask whatever
questions you wish, he will answer.”
Upon
hearing this, father asked, “What is the reason for my distress, why can’t I
find peace of heart? Please provide a remedy for it as well.” The elder
responded: “You made a mistake in your childhood, for which you are still being
punished by Allah.” As for the remedy, he said, “Bring a black goat into the
house as charity and pour its blood into the four corners of the house.”
Then
mother inquired, “My son has been in Saudi Arabia for the past four years, and
he has not yet come to visit us in Karachi—what is the reason?” The other
spirit within the elder began saying: “Your son will not come to Karachi. He
wants to earn money there and send you wealth, but he has not yet succeeded in
this effort.” Many questions were asked and many answers were received, but
those answers were not definite; rather, they were such that anyone could have
given them. Then misfortune befell our elder sister. They called her near and
started pulling her hair. We watched all this in astonishment. They pulled out
a few strands of her hair, wrapped them in a paper, and told her, “Go outside
to the street and bring the dust from under your feet.” Sister obeyed the order
and presented the dust to him. He put this dust into the packet with the hair,
recited something over it, and handed it back to the sister saying, “Whenever
any trouble arises, throw this into the air—it will resolve the issue.” The
modern elder from Multan was served lavishly for lunch. After eating, he began
writing amulets. While he was writing, mother asked about his offering
(hadiyah). He smiled and said, “Your brother is my devotee, so for you there is
no offering.” Mother was satisfied.
Now
he requested water in the new steel bucket. He dissolved an amulet in water,
recited something over it, blew into it, splashed water on the walls, and
poured the remaining water over father. We found it very amusing but remained
silent due to fear. One amulet was written on deer skin and given to us. After
the amulets, he turned his attention to the clay lamps. He wrote different
operations (amliyat) on four lamps, joined them with flour, and asked brother
to bury them in the courtyard after wrapping them in a plastic bag. The order
was obeyed. Then came the nails. After blowing on the nails, he hammered them
into the courtyard as well. Having completed these operations, Peer Sahib
turned toward brother and took him to the courtyard. He drew a large circle
with coal and made brother sit inside it, wrapping him in the cloth brought for
the lamps. Four lamps were lit within the circle. Now Peer Sahib started
running around the circle. We all watched like spectators. While running, he
used a stick to extinguish the lamps. After 15 minutes, this play ended. Peer
Sahib, panting, sat back on the bed and said, “This boy is under an influence,
and there is an obstacle in his business. I have removed the obstacle in his business.”
Then again, he fell on the bed, and his disciples said, “Now another elder has
entered into him, and this elder knows the action of evil spirits.” This Peer
Sahib began saying, “There is an evil spirit hovering over your home.” And in
this way, he narrated a tale of spirits.
It
was quite late at night. During all these operations (i.e., from 9 a.m. to
approximately 12:30 a.m.), he consumed lunch, evening tea, dinner, and fruits.
Because it was late at night, he said, “We will stay here tonight.” We became
very distressed because our house is a small house consisting of two rooms.
Ultimately, father made some polite excuses. He agreed to leave, but said, “In
Multan, my fee is ten thousand rupees.” Upon hearing this, father went into a
state of near shock. Upon our repeated pleas, he started insisting on two
thousand rupees instead of ten thousand. Mother, in a low voice, offered two
hundred rupees. He became furious and said, “Not one penny less than two
thousand rupees. If I don’t receive the money, I will destroy your house
through istidraaji action.” In short, he gave many threats wrapped in fire.
While issuing threats, he got up and went out of the door. Ten minutes later,
he entered the house again and said to mother, “Alright, just give two hundred
rupees.” He took two hundred rupees and disappeared. Please tell us: what field
of knowledge is this entire drama related to? What should we do with these
amulets, nails, and lamps? We are feeling afraid. Might he take revenge on us?
Answer: Thank Allah that the matter ended at two hundred rupees. Just as swindlers deceive people and take their money, similarly, this Peer Sahib too displayed sleight of hand through his acts. The amulets he gave are all ineffective. Collect them and throw them into flowing water and do not worry at all. God willing, you will not face any trouble. These days, the practitioners of amliyat have taken the form of a epidemic. Advertisements on walls and highly decorated offices are living proof of it. Innocent and simple people, falling for their deception, waste their hard-earned money. Greed for wealth weakens the strength of belief in Allah, and when belief becomes weak in a person, he starts seeking support. Clever people, in new disguises, fool the creation of Allah and live luxuriously. Remember this: if a person has greed for the world, then he can never be a spiritual person.
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.
