I am particularly interested in any writings on the need for religion in day to day life, the greater question of a whole unifying truth that pervades the existence of all beings, why, whether and where God exists, the concept of rebirth ( pardon me for reeling off questions i myself do not understand very well ) - and how all these questions find their answers in Islam and in a true Muslim way of life. I am interested in all kinds of documents, translations or otherwise, written by people from any part of the world - that would help me learn more about the answers (as pointed to by Islam) to such questions some of us ask ourselves. I would also like to learn more about the various sects (Sufis, Ahmadiyas ?) that emerged from traditional Islam and their approaches to similar puzzles. Please email responses to ghosh@cs.yale.edu . Warmest thanks in advance.
