Request:
Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahu wabarakatuhu,
My beloved niece (daughter of elder brother) is currently suffering from autism. My brother and his wife do not know how to deal with this situation but I am also living far away from them to help them with the difficult situation. I am asking for prayer from syeikh nazim and syeikh hisham as well as from all naqshbandi scholars for the recovery of my beloved niece.
Are there any prayers we should recite for the curing of this beautiful girl?
Thank you very much.

`Alaykum assalam,
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said that all his murids are in his heart and this is without limitation of time and place. The Holy Prophet upon him blessings and peace said that everything is from Allah Most High including mental health; but tests are born in order for patients and/or, as in this case, relatives and caretakers to be cleansed and raised to high levels through patience and repentance to and trust in Allah.
As for your niece she is in heavenly hands and angelic interaction, swimming in mercy oceans. Continue to follow medical advice and treatment and offer qurban (sacrifice meat) often on her behalf to intention of betterment, and recite 10 Fatihas after every Salat, totaling 50 in every 24 hours, offering their reward to the Holy Prophet and Awliya on behalf of your niece.
