Double Standard: Conveying the Universal Truth of Islam in an Age of Confusion

‘Double Standard’ is a profound analytical work by Dr. Shamsul Arefin, published by Somokal Prokashon, that focuses on Islamic Ideology and Doctrine within the context of contemporary intellectual challenges.

Core Message and Areas of Discussion:

• The Contemporary Crisis: The book highlights the critical juncture where Islam, for many born Muslims, has been reduced to a set of ritualistic customs, echoing the limitations of man-made religions due to ignorance and confusion.

• The Foremost Duty: The author asserts that it is the duty of every truth-conscious person to convey the genuine truth and comprehensive guidance of Islam—the sole solution to all human problems—to those who are lost.

• Methodology and Focus: The book’s strength lies in its approach to sensitive issues:

  • It presents complex issues in an engaging story form.

  • It tackles questions often raised by atheists and so-called ‘freethinkers’, providing solutions rooted in factual depth, logical reasoning, and analytical clarity.

• The Universal Theme: Beginning with a reflection on the existence of the Creator, the book culminates in a piece of scientific fiction that powerfully demonstrates humanity’s innate and universal yearning for the truth of divine oneness (Tawheed).

For readers seeking a logical, fact-based, and inspiring defense of Islamic ideals against contemporary intellectual darkness and those looking to understand the comprehensive nature of Tawheed through modern analytical lenses, ‘Double Standard’ is an essential read.
