    About this ebook


    Inspired by D. E. Wittkower’s The Philosopher’s Book of Questions & Answers, author Iqbal Al Lawati set out to examine his own views and responses to the questions posed therein. In doing so, he felt passionate about sharing his views with others, hoping to create a spark to get them also to think about their take on these matters.

    Exploring topics ranging from faith and the soul to society and morals, Refracted Reflections: Faith, Morals, and Society endeavors to highlight some of the steps toward gaining and achieving a perfected coordination and synchronization of the outward aspects of conduct and the inner aspects of thought within the self, whether related to understanding the intricacies and characteristics of the cosmos, or dealing with matters related to soul, birth, life, death and beyond. Al Lawati discusses the importance of happiness in life, linking true happiness to the acts of giving and charitable deeds.

    Offering a broad perspective our world and environment, this study considers matters of soul, death, life, afterlife, morals, and social issues, providing deeper awareness of the self as we journey through life.
