Double Standard

Double Standard by Dr. Shamsul Arefin, published by Somokalin Prokashon, is a thought-provoking English book that explores the intellectual and spiritual crisis of the modern age. In this age of ignorance, confusion, and intellectual darkness, Islam—once the complete and divinely revealed code of life—has, for most born Muslims, been reduced to little more than a set of ritualistic customs, similar to other man-made or distorted religions. At such a critical juncture, it has become the foremost duty of every truth-conscious person to convey, in the right way, the genuine truth and comprehensive guidance of Islam—the sole system of life and the true solution to all human problems—to those lost in the labyrinth of darkness and delusion.The author has presented, in story form, many issues about which most Muslims are poorly informed—topics that atheists and so-called “freethinkers” often exploit to mislead them. He handles these sensitive issues with impressive factual depth, logical reasoning, and analytical clarity. Furthermore, beginning with a reflection on the existence of the Creator and concluding with a piece of scientific fiction, he beautifully illustrates humanity’s timeless and universal yearning for the truth of divine oneness (Tawheed).
