I express my thanks to Allahu ta'ala, pronounce benedictions over His beloved Prophet and over you. Your cherished letter of aza, that is, letter of condolence due to bereavement, has arrived. We all are under Allah's command and will, and we all will enter His presence! With His aid, we have been acquiescent in His qada. You, too, must acquiesce to it! Ask for help by saying prayers and the Fatiha! The news informing that you got rid of that problem has pleased us very much. So we have gotten rid of one of the two problems. Thank Allahu ta'ala for this! You write that you cannot rid your heart of worldly thoughts. Yes, the outward deed's being disorderly and disorganized causes the heart to become untidy, too. When there is sorrow or melancholy in your heart say tawba and istighfar to remove it! During times of fear [and against the harm of genies] say the prayer of Kalima-i tamjid, that is, "La hawla wala quwwata illa billahil 'aliyyil 'azim." [It is written in the 174th letter that this prayer is said against the haunting of genies. Muhammad Mathum 'rahmatullahi alaih' writes in his third letter of the second volume, "One should recite La hawla wala quwwata illa billah five hundred times with the salawat-i Sharifa a hundred times before and after it and make a dua in order to get rid of problems and attain one's wishes."] At such times of trouble it is very useful to recite the two suras of Mu'awwizatayn, that is, the two suras beginning with Qul-a'udhu. We have been well and comfortable, may hamd be to Allahu ta'ala always! "Alhamdu-li 'l-lahi daiman wa ala kulli hal wa A'udhu bi'l-lahi min hal-i ahl-in-nar." Being weak, I cannot write any longer. May Allahu ta'ala not separate us and you from Muhammad Mustafa's Shariat! Wassalam.
[It is written in Tafsir-i Mazhari in the explanation of the eighty-eighth ayat of the Surat- ul-Anbiya that a hadith ash-Sharif says, "During the time of sorrows and hardships recite the prayer of the Prophet Yunus. Surely Allah will rescue you. The prayer is: La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin." A hadith-i- Sharif quoted in the fifty-third chapter of the book Targhib us-Salat reads as follows: "If a person, after getting up every morning, says the following prayer three times, no trouble or disaster will come upon him until evening: Bismillah-illazi la yadhurru ma'asmihi shay'un fi-l-ardi wa la fi-s-sama' wahuwa-s-sami' ul-'alim."
