The Awakening of Consciousness
Are we living our true human potential and our real life purpose? How can we go deep within and be the best that we can be? How can we play a conscious part in the advent of an alternative social order which furthers true human development and conscious living? Through this short series of talks, Sheikh Aly N’Daw invites us to experience the path of self-discovery and reflection about who we truly are. He encourages us to meditate deeply on how we perceive ourselves, how we think, feel and interact with other fellow human beings.

The Quest for truth
The Quest for Truth is a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery. The author, Sheikh Aly N’Daw, invites us to develop a profound understanding of our inherent Being and the factors that can interfere with our original nature. True understanding can only come from the heart. It is only through the profound dimension of the heart that the Being can understand the world of illusion that permeates all aspects of human life. This dimension of understanding is the starting point of the awakening process. According to the author, there is no need to retreat to the mountains to be awakened! We only need to be fully aware of the nature of illusion, in order to come out of it and start living in an awakened state. As the Being awakens, it develops the audacity to live fully in the present moment and surpass any perceived insecurity, challenges or perils. The Being is then able to attain the divine state of selflessness and experience Truth as a profound inner reality, as did many peacemakers who have proposed viable alternative social and economic models which respect human dignity and promote true human development.

How can we look inwardly, to understand who we truly are and discover the faculties we have been endowed with as human beings? How can we draw on Sufi wisdoms to improve the human condition in today’s world? The author calls for a revival of the action of the Prophets (peace be upon them) in our modern world, as illustrated by the examples of Peacemakers like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Muhammad Yunus, among others.
Journey Through Ten Thousand Veils
Born in a Jewish family, Maryam Kabeer was led to live in India and Nepal, and in monasteries in Europe, and then guided to embrace Islam at the hands of an ancient Sufi Master a few minutes away from the tomb of the Prophet Abraham. She then was guided to study intensively with Sufi Masters around the world. Her journey to the holy places and people of the earth, led her finally to Africa and the deep truth that all lives are totally interconnected and united with our own. This book is a significant and revealing social commentary, also dispelling many other myths and stereotypes such as the proposition, often fostered by the media, that women are inevitably oppressed in Islam. On the contrary, it is by entering into the heart of Islam that the author was liberated, elevated, empowered, and guided to realize the true purpose of her existence.

Global Crossroads: Rethinking Dominant Orders in Our Contested World
Global Crossroads: Rethinking Dominant Orders in Our Contested World is an edited collection of papers mostly presented at the 2019 DEN International Student Conference. This publication is one of the many annual projects conducted under the umbrella of the Democratic Education Network (DEN) which came to existence in 2016 at the then Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster. Today DEN has expanded across multiple departments within the University’s School of Social Sciences, aiming to inspire engagement with communities and involvement in student-led projects. DEN aspires to be a platform for empowering students, offering them opportunities for personal, intellectual and professional development, and enhancing students’ engagement and experience. This book is an articulation of the students’ research and analytical work on some of the most pressing global issues of our times. It is, further, a product of their hard work and skills, developed through DEN, in editing and compiling academic publications — a testimony to DEN’s ability to encourage and empower students to work together and achieve remarkable results.
Disability in Islamic Law
The book analyzes attitudes to people with various disabilities based on Muslim jurists’ works in the Middle Ages and the modern era. Very little has been written so far on people with disabilities in a general Islamic context, much less in reference to Islamic law. The main contribution of the book is that it focuses on people with disabilities and depicts the place and status that Islamic law has assigned to them.
Through the Lens of Cultural Awareness
Conducting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and projecting United States (US) influence worldwide has meant an increasing number of US diplomats and military forces are assigned to locations around the world, some of which have not previously had a significant US presence. In the current security environment, understanding foreign cultures and societies has become a national priority. Cultural understanding is necessary both to defeat adversaries and to work successfully with allies.
