The initial picture we get of the human being in the beginning of his/her life in this world is that of a searcher, one seeking to understand what life in this objective world is all about. This publication is a compilation of reflections on a variety of common human themes, including logic, community living, scriptural reasoning, spirit and spirituality, and the continued life of the human soul.

Imam W. Deen Mohammed felt that there were persons of elevated thinking who would appreciate a compilation of his thoughts on some of those common human themes. Consequently, he suggested the title: Thoughts for Searchers: Seeking to Understand Life.
