Abid Jan wrote extensively on the issues of world peace, human rights and man’s inhumanity to man.

Since 2006, Abid Ullah Jan has devoted his time to learning and exploring existential questions that haunt human beings since the beginning of time – questions concerning the essence of what it means to be alive, such as: What is life? What is the meaning and the essence of existence? Are we here merely by chance or is there a greater purpose for our existence? How should we live our life? What is death? What happens when we die? And above all: Is there a God, and, if so, what is the purpose of our existence in that context?

After 10 years of giving up on the traditional political analysis, Abid Ullah Jan had thoroughly explored the world of knowledge as a neutral researcher. In 2016, Abid Jan started sharing his findings in the form of video documentaries and some dialogues with his son. The documentaries and dialogue (available at PeaceQust.net as well as a Youtube Channel – PeaceQuest) to provide the essence of Abid Jan 27 years of critical analysis of the root cause of our existential crisis.
