In this captivating collection of essays, Shaykh Ebrahim Schuitema invites readers on a journey of self-reflection and spiritual awakening. Through the exploration of themes such as gratitude, human frailty and suffering, and our engagement with one another and the world, these essays invite you to reexamine your life to see it for what it is: a love letter to you from your Rabb. This anthology encourages you to transform your lens of the world from one of resentment to one of gratitude. It offers profound wisdom and insights, which will help you see through the veils and find the Majesty of your Lord in each moment. Each essay is a transcription of a dars (a lesson) delivered by Shaykh Ebrahim. Each dars was delivered after a session of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), when everyone present was in a deep state of stillness. These dars are never prepared or rehearsed. Instead, they are a spontaneous response by the Shaykh to a theme that becomes apparent to him in the deep silence following the dhikr. Whether you are a spiritual seeker, a practitioner of Sufism, or simply someone seeking guidance in the journey of life, this collection is an important read to help you navigate your human experience, find meaning in your life, and deepen your connection to Allah.

Based on a decade's research into the problem of employee discontent, this book makes a critical contribution to understanding the fundamental causes of conflict in the workplace.Beyond Management demonstrates that the fundamental relationship between employer and employee is not a contractual one, but a relationship of power. In doing so it thoroughly explores the distinction between management and leadership and spells out the requirements for rendering legitimate the power of those in charge of an enterprise.The author proposes that the only way in which a legitimate post-technocratic society may be achieved is through restoring the human being to his rightful place in the organization. The only people who can do this are those who, on a daily basis, have the right to demand the acquiescence of others: the leadership at work.This book is essential reading for all students of social and business sciences and also for practicing managers.

It is a case of empowering and growing subordinates, the interest of the shareholders will flourish accordingly.Developed from the authors ground-breaking work dealing with conflict resolution and insights from his basic research 'The Care and Growth' Leadership Model has now become a successful system tested and applied in a variety of industries such as manufacturing, IT, hospitality, financial services and agriculture, in a total of 15 countries, over 4 continents.

We come into the world as scintillating points of awareness. Over time, we develop certain convictions about who we are, and each one of them describes a limitation. This book gives you tools to free yourself from that web of limitations, by applying the metaphorical two sandals of Intention and Attention in order to rediscover that ecstatic, magical being who you were before you became defined, before you were made a person among people. The author takes you on a journey through the maturation process of the human being seen through the lens of intent in the different epochs of our lives, from being an emptiness that seeks to be filled to eventually arriving at a place of unconditional giving - a fullness that seeks to be emptied. The book also contains practical exercises and techniques to help you clarify your intent and attention so that you may, once again, become that magical being that is beyond limitation and recapture the original ecstatic connectedness with all things that was experienced in infancy.
