Nasheem, appears to be a name or term used in ancient African, or even some ancient Arabian cultures, to denote "breeze or strong wind." Most recently and popularly, this term refers to a class of characters that appear in a fictional/fantasy trilogy of books entitled "The Orum Awakens"Bold text by R.A. Johnstone.

According to the lore created in this fictional trilogy of stories (there are three books with distinct titles it seems), the NasheemItalic text are a group of celestial beings who have existed since the beginning of the world and since the beginning of all time throughout the universes that exist. They appear to have functioned, originally, as "warriors" of some sort in the first great cosmic battle that occurred at the beginning of the creation of "time" between what the novel series describes as two brothers of eternal energy (negative and positive). The Nasheem seem to have been "neutral" beings initially during the first conflict between these two brothers of energy but they were, eventually and it seems secretively, directed by the SourceItalic text of all creation to take the side of the cosmic brother of positive energy in the battle.

The Nasheem appear to be an amoral class of celestial beings who seem capable of choosing to do either good or evil depending upon the circumstances at the time surrounding the great cosmic battle between the cosmic brothers. They are also described in the novels as indifferent, and non-judgmental celestial beings, but upon closer examination of Nasheem behavior throughout cosmic history, they appear to have some sort of internal mechanism at their core that seems to make them, as individuals or collectively, usually choose the side of the positive "brother" of eternal cosmic energy who is known as the "Orum" in the novels. And this choice is usually made by the Nasheem against the negative "brother" of eternal cosmic energy who is known as the "Prayard." These beings Nasheem, themselves, don't appear to have any conscious understanding for why they choose the way that they do in each of the battles that occur between the cosmic brothers of energy.

In this trilogy of fantasy/fiction, the Nasheem appear to always play, ultimately, a decisive role in the final outcome(s)of these re-occurring eternal battles, every few billion years, between the Orum and the Prayard.

"Nashi," who is the central Nasheem character in this fantasy/fiction trilogy, is described as having a beautiful, bright, and shiny blue physical form when she actually reveals herself to anyone. Her skin is so bright and shiny that it looks like "white diamonds and crystals are embedded underneath her skin." The Nasheem appear to have the unique ability, after they landed on different planets throughout the universe as a result of the first great cosmic battle and explosion between the Orum and the Prayard, to choose to either to assume the physical form of the creatures on the planets they landed on, or they can remain in an undetectable form that hides their true identity.

In book three of the "Orum Awakens" trilogy, Nashi finally reveals her true Nasheem form to "Boddie" who is the Orum on earth for this present battle between the forces of energy. And her form is described as quite significantly different from the manifestations of her form in the previous two novels in the series. The Nasheem in this fiction/fantasy novel series appear to have some common characteristics and origins with beings depicted in several ancient religious traditions: the angels of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are among some of them, it appears.

Some ancient African traditional religions also appear to have beings within their folklore and theology that resemble some of the characteristics of the Nasheem in this fictional story. The Nasheem also appear to reflect some characteristics of beings depicted in ancient India, Chinese, Hispaniola, and Japanese folklore and religion.
