Question:
I
am on the brink of self-destruction. If you too turn me away, then truly, no
one can save me. Since early childhood, I have lived with a pervasive sense of
emotional deprivation. Even a minor rebuke brings me to tears. No one seems to
care for me. I possess neither physical beauty nor any radiance on my face. I
am a thin and frail young man; people seldom speak to me kindly or directly.
Instead, I am continuously wounded by the venomous darts of sarcasm and
mockery. You may well imagine the state of my inner being under such
conditions. Because of my physical weakness, people often initiate conflict
with me. When guests visit our home, I retreat to another room out of shyness.
Should a female guest address me, I find myself unable to respond without
embarrassment. This social anxiety leads others to avoid me altogether. If,
under pressure, I must speak to a girl, my tongue fails me — it stammers
uncontrollably, rendering me humiliated in the moment. I have pursued numerous
treatments, yet none have yielded any benefit. My future appears shrouded in
darkness. Although I am 23 or 24 years old, I appear, physically and
emotionally, like a boy of ten or twelve. Moreover, my home is perpetually
marred by conflict and disorder.
Answer: Each night,
before sleep, recite the Qur’anic verse:
"Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa al-ḥayy al-qayyūm- اللّٰہ لا الہ الا ھو الحی القیوم
"
one hundred times, preceded and followed by eleven recitations of the Durood
Sharif (Prophet, P.B.U.H.).
After
recitation, lie down in bed, close your eyes, and enter a contemplative state,
engaging in murāqabah (meditative focus) on a rose-pink light until you fall
asleep.
Every
morning on an empty stomach — and again before the evening recitation — consume
one or two high-quality dates.
This
spiritual regimen should be observed consistently for three months without
interruption. Additionally, give a small act of charity (e.g., two rupees)
every Thursday at sunset, as an offering of goodwill and spiritual
purification.
Remain
steadfast. By the grace of Allah the Almighty, tranquility and inner strength
will begin to manifest.
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.
