Unable to speak properly
I am a student. My speech is well but I’m unable to speak some specific letters with right pronunciation. I try my best to speak properly but do not succeed. Due to my sudden incorrect pronunciation, the situation becomes hilarious & I face embarrassment. That’s why I try to keep away from my friends & relatives as much as possible. (Sheikh Amjad, Lahore)
Reply:  If there is no defect in the structure of tongue, the following practice will be Insha’Allah useful. Recite “KaafHaaYaaAeinSuaad”   کھٰیٰعصٓ one thousand times & blow on a paper, also write these letters on that paper. Keep this paper inside your pillow. Remember that your pillow should not be used by anyone else. At night, before sleeping, slowly repeat these letters eleven times. Always talk slowly & give pauses so that you get more & more control over your tongue movement.
To acquire mental concentration
I do not suffer any physical illness but I have lost mental concentration. It seems as if some invisible power has bound my mind. There is a chain of never ending problems at home, family misunderstandings have increased. Sometimes I think of leaving the house due to this environment. Considering the circumstances please give your opinion & advice. (Nadeem Ahmed, Karachi)
Reply:  One cannot completely change his surroundings or stay absolutely unconcerned. However in these circumstances one should keep himself away from distress & anxiety so that his mental energy is least wasted.Moreover, reciting “YaHayuYaQayumo”  یَاحَیُّ یَاقَیُّومُ  in abundancewill be useful in every respect. Recite it in abundance.
Hopelessness occupies
I am all the time occupied by mental confusion; sudden despair & depression overcomes me. Neither I take heart in studying, nor is there any enthusiasm for any work &I feel very bad to talk to anyone.
Often when I think of future, extreme pessimism surrounds me. Suddenly I feel like crying. Before this, I used to participate in routine activities but now the situation is unlike that. At one time,I intend to do something & then some other idea takes over my heart. In short, my mind is always captured by a strange dilemma.(Tahira, Multan)
Reply:A human being is based on illusion & believes. In terms of religion,this is called doubt & faith. Allah forbids placing doubts in the mind& orders to firm the belief. This doubt & believe keeps effecting our brain cells all the time. The more the doubt increases, the more it will damage the brain cells. Our nerves work under the influence of these brain cells & human life is actually the movement of nerves. When the mind is dominated by doubts, one gives the status of reality to his assumptions. These thoughts increase the feeling of failure & defeat for example, fear of having wasted the good deeds &hopelessness about the future etc…
The purpose of describing these things is that while keeping away from doubt &suspicions as much as you can, strengthen your belief & keep your fears about future altogether away from your mind. If you intend to do some work, don’t focus on anything else. Say your prayers regularly, after Fajr&Isha prayers recite “Surah Fateha” 21 times & blow on your heart. Insha’Allah very soon your mental confusion will be over.
Friends make fun of me:
I am a student of class 10 & my age is nineteen years. My condition is such that I can’t do any work; all my body aches& my body is unable to cope up with my intentions.All the time I keep thinking about my illness.
Sometimes it comes to my mind perhaps I will lose my life now. This illusion is stuck to my mind. Myfriends make fun of me. I’m very weak; my bones show, heart perturbs, hands & feet become cold. I am also
taking medical treatment. (Nadeem Ahmed, Gujrat)

No marriage proposals
I am the only daughter of my oppressed mother. My mother was divorced before my birth. I have never seen my father. I have completed my graduation recently & now I’m planning to do masters. So far, there are no marriage proposals for me although I’m polite & beautiful & there are no financial problems. When people meet me, they are impressed by my personality & appreciate me, & value my sincerity as well. However, presently there are no marriage proposals for me.(HinaHayder, Lahore)
Reply: After Isha prayer, recite “YaWahabu”  یَاوَھَّابُ  three hundred times (with DurudShareef eleven times before & after) & imagine for five minutes that you are under Allah’s divine throne. After this, pray to Allah & continue this practice for forty days. The days when this practice cannot be performed should be counted & completed afterwards.
Weakness of bones
I am suffering from the disease of weak bones. My health is poor & hands & feet are very weak, home environment is also bitter & tense. I am suffering from anemia & have dark circles around the eyes. Because of all this, every time I remain mentally upset. I don’t understand why this disease has overcome me in such a young age. Financial & domestic condition is also not good. (Amber, Rawalpindi)
Reply: Continue the treatment & take good diet. Recite first verse of “Surah Yusuf” twenty one times, blow on the water & drink it in the morning & evening. After isha prayer, recite verse number twenty three of “Surah Hashar” twenty one times & pray to Allah for health. Allah will bless you with good health.
Extreme depression
I am twenty years old & I have taken B.A examination. I feel too much inferiority complex. A physical defect has strengthened this feeling, I cannot talk to anyone & I don’t understand what should I talk about? Just over a little matter, feeling of being inferior dominates me. My distress increases when people make fun of me. People think I don’t understand anything; I cannot convince anyone to accept my suggestion. These conditions have increased my frustration, sometimes I feel sick of staying alive; although I want to live like normal people. (Aneela, Rawalpindi)
Reply: Don’t expect people to act according to your will. Keep yourself busy with your own work & try to fulfill it, try your best to practice & improve your skills. Try to focus your intentions on one point. In the night, before sleeping, recite second verse of “Surah Al Imran” with complete concentration for almost ten to fifteen minutes. Insha’Allah your problems will be resolved easily.
Brain being locked up
It seems to me as if my brain has been covered up & all my skills & mental capabilities are being enclosed. Even my memory has become weak. I have to give breaks during my conversations as suddenly people’s names get out of my mind. My mind does not work fast as before. A feeling of senselessness has overshadowed my mind. (Musawir Ali, Quetta)
Reply: Early morning, right after Fajar prayer, look at the light appearing from the horizon with complete concentration for ten minutes. During this, keep reciting “YaRaheemu” یَارَحِیْمُ  in your heart. Look at the soft light & avoid looking directly at the sun or the sharp light around it. Along with this, play some appropriate game or go for a swift walk. In addition, also consider to take a balanced diet & eat a few whole almonds daily.
I’m thinking….?
A few years back I took premature retirement & the amount which I acquired from this, invested in a business but the business is not considerably successful because of which I feel burden on my heart & mind. Different things keep circulating in my mind. I am thinking of changing my business & shop. (Karimullah, Multan)
Reply: Apply different measures & methods to the same business; try your best to avoid quick & frequent changes. Along with this, after Fajar prayer, recite “AyatulKursi” seven times &“YaFattahuYaRazzaqu” یَافَتَّاحُ یَارَزَّاقُ   one hundred times & pray to Allah. Before starting your business, first recite “Surah Kauser”& then “Surah Ikhlas” one time each, blow on your hands & rub them over your face. Allah will grant abundance in means & causes.
Elder brother’s illness
Everyone is surprised & upset due to elder brother’s illness. Two years back he had swelling on his liver then gradually this disease was cured. Some time ago his ankle bones started aching which still continues. He is taking treatment but so far he is not sufficiently well. His mind has become too weak; he forgets many things & gets angry very quickly. He does not laugh at all but just smiles & mostly remain in irritable mood. (Mohammad Farooq, Faisalabad)
Reply:Focus on treatment & recite “Surah Fateha” one time, “YaAllahuYaRehmanu”  یَااَللہُ یَارَحْمٰنُ  one hundred times & verse number 109 of “Surah Kahaf” three times in the morning & evening, blow on water & give your brother to drink. In addition, recite “YaSalamuYaHafizu” یَاحَفِیْظُ یَاسَلَامُ twenty one times in the morning & night & blow on your brother’s head. May Allah grant your brother with good health very soon.
Severe depression
I have three daughters; they keep fighting with each other over just little things. Same is the case with my husb& that he scolds me over small matters & starts fighting. Perhaps that is why my daughters are unconsciously getting in thesame habit which is showing in other ways. I feel severe depression seeing this environment at home. (Hidden)
Reply: After saying Fajar prayer, recite “YaWadudu”  یَاوَدُوْدُ  eleven times, blow on water & give all the family to drink it. Continue this practice for almost three months, count the days in which you could not recite & complete them after wards. Be patient & avoid fighting or arguing with your husb&. Insha‘Allah Allah’s grace will shower upon you.
