Bøker av Khalid a Wasi

There is power in our everyday living. A kind word or empathy is not just a word or feeling, it is an opening of the channels in the heart. These channels are like electrical conduits that convey the energy of life/God.Religion is meant as a practice and a guide to open these channels.Sufism is a known practice dedicated to cultivating spiritual attributes. However, even Sufism when entertained as a cult is not the end road, rather it is as a doorway or methodology.The principle of Sufism is to give pure love and charity toward others, and it is a realization of oneness that there is no separation from the creator of the universe. Sufism for Today begins by explaining where the word or term Sufi may have originated. The book describes the generality of asceticism and the basic underlying principles of selflessness, giving, and love as the foundation of all inspiration that has led mankind.Finally, Sufism for Today conveys the power and superiority of innocent acts of kindness over ritualized behaviour, regardless of the religious title or form of sectarianism practiced. (About the Author)Khalid A. Wasi grew up in Bermuda, except for a brief period when he attended university in New York. After accompanying his children to their own universities in Nova Scotia, he has since split his time between Bermuda and Halifax. "My sensitivities grew out of my Bermudian experience, but I believe Nova Scotia helped release my art." Now retired from running his own businesses, he is working on the development of a container transshipment port. The author has published three other books and has written hundreds of articles for the three main newspapers in Bermuda. 

It''s Between What they Say is very timely, because increasingly the gulf between secularism and religion gets wider. Unlike the days of old, when there were tremendous conflicts between different religions, today atheism is perhaps a larger threat to the notion of religion or God than another belief. Therefore, the author includes atheism in his specter of beliefs, rather than belief versus non-belief. Khalid A. Wasi promotes the idea that the survival and future of mankind is dependent on global re-education, the type that promotes humans being endowed with the ability to think, as opposed to being subjects of society. He makes the point that character is more than simple manners, but rather is a trigger with universal potency. The author believes compassion is the password, which like a key, unlocks the ability for the world to evolve to its next phase. In spite of numerous wars, global conflicts, and atrocities that we see daily, we still live in the age of Aquarius, and enlightenment will prevail.Discover the key to the genius inherent in many of the great souls and luminaries who have lit the path in religion, science, or art. Humanity is an evolving consciousness and the human family is in conflict because of the lack of true dialogue between societies. Behavior embedded in love and compassion is the key to social salvation.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/khalidawasi

No-Frills Islam is a cut-to-the-bone essay on Islam. It pulls out the core principles of the religion, which was the thrust of what Muhammad brought to humanity. Readers will find the principles within are more likely to resonate with the average reader, whether Muslim, Christian, or even the non-religious.Often it is language that causes divisions in understanding between people. That aside, the idea of purity of faith around or in a benevolent source of life needs to transcend ideological dogma and become the instrument through which humanity evolves to become more complete human beings. This compelling book presents a pure description of Islam, without all the added traditions that come to be attached as an identity via its development and history. It begins by giving the five basic principles and their implications as they affect life and belief.Khalid A. Wasi wrote this book to clear up misunderstandings and distortions of Islam as it is has been presented. He is the founder of the first orthodox Muslim community in Bermuda and is a semi-retired businessman, currently working as a private business consultant. The author grew up in Bermuda and has been a socio/politico activist for the better part of his life. He also served in Bermuda as a human rights commissioner for 13 years (one of those years as chairman of the education committee). He has met five world leaders, including having an audience with King Khalid bin Saud, now deceased. He currently spends considerable time in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, if not traveling.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/khalidawasi
