Among the questions most frequently asked today is:

“What can I do spiritually for my child with autism?”

For every parent, especially every mother, there is no greater desire than to see their child safe, peaceful and happy.
When answers seem difficult to find and the future feels uncertain, the heart naturally turns towards Allah.
Through the Faiz of Qalandar Baba Bukhari (RA), Waris-e-Qalandar,
Syed Baba shares a simple spiritual therapy
that invites parents to place their child completely in the care of Allah.
This therapy is not built upon fear.
It is built upon trust. Not upon trying to understand every reason.
But upon knowing that Allah already knows every reason.

Parents often ask themselves countless questions.
Why my child? Was it genetic? Was it environmental? Was it something I did?

The Faiz of Qalandar Baba Bukhari (RA) gently teaches us not to allow these questions to distance our hearts from Allah. Whatever the reason may be, Allah knows it completely. Whatever the difficulty may be, Allah’s mercy is greater. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the cause, this therapy teaches us to turn completely towards the One who has power over every affair.

• This therapy is performed while your child is peacefully asleep.
• Sit beside your child with a calm and hopeful heart.
• Gently place your right hand upon your child’s chest.
• Close your eyes.
• Do not rush.
• Allow your breathing to settle naturally.
• Leave behind every worry, every fear and every distraction.
• Become fully aware that you are standing before Allah.
• He is watching over you. He is watching over your child. His mercy surrounds you both.
• With complete conviction and sincerity, say Allah…Allah…Allah…, thrice in your heart:
• Keep your hand gently resting upon your child’s chest.
• Remain in His presence.
• Then begin making DUA with hope, focus & certainty that Allah hears every whispered prayer.

Strength where there is weakness…Ease where there is difficulty… And guidance, protection and every blessing that is best for your child. Remain in that state of remembrance for as long as your heart wishes. The moment the heart truly submits to Him, hope replaces despair and trust begins to replace fear

No one carries a child in their heart as deeply as a mother. And no one understands that mother’s tears better than Allah. Every night you place your hand upon your child is another night you declare:

“Ya Allah… this child was always Yours before You entrusted them to me.”

This therapy reminds parents that they are not carrying this journey alone. Allah has always been with your child. He always will be. Continue to love. Continue to care. Continue to seek every beneficial means. And never stop making dua.
