Separated Relatives

If one’s close relatives have become separated and are living in distant places, and there appears to be no way of contacting them, rise half an hour before sunrise and perform a bath. Then, while facing and looking toward the sky, recite the Divine Name یَا جَامِعُ (Ya Jāmiʿu) ten times and close one finger.

Recite the same Name ten more times and close another finger. Continue this process until all ten fingers are closed. Begin by closing the fingers of the right hand first, then those of the left hand. When both fists are closed, bring them close to the face, open them, and gently wipe them over the face.

By performing this practice continuously for forty days, Inshā’Allāh, one will be reunited with separated relatives.
