By Neil Douglas-Klotz

The first sura of the Qur’an, with its emphasis on love, unity and surrender to the One Being, in musical form for chanting. An expanded translation of the sura appears in the book Desert Wisdom.

“These melodies came through while on a personal retreat during the passing of my own Sufi guide, Moineddin Jablonski, in February 2001, and are dedicated to him. The melodies contain much of his feeling and emphasis on embracing both the shadow and the light in one’s own being with joy and acceptance. I encourage it to be used as a chanted prayer for peace.” —Neil Douglas-Klotz Abwoon

The Genesis Meditations Book: A Shared Practice of Peace for Christians, Jews and Muslims


$24.95

By Neil Douglas-Klotz

with original artwork by Sufi artist Fatima Lassar

“The New Story about the Oldest Story in the World . . .”Uniting Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, this book teaches how early mystics may have meditated in all three great religions springing from the Middle East. World-known religion scholar and translator Neil Douglas-Klotz (Saadi) finds that all three faiths, in spite of apparent differences, share an emphasis on sacred beginnings. Over the centuries Westerners have progressively lost this sense, instead emphasizing apocalyptic endings. Now Dr. Douglas-Klotz seeks to reclaim the life-affirming energy of sacred ‘beginning time,’ so that we can experience its creative power for ourselves and for our world. Having already enjoyed the many new wonderful Bereshith (Genesis) Dances and meditations, the Dance Network has eagerly awaited this latest book of Saadi’s. Quest Books
