About the Book
Humanity stands today at a civilizational crossroads to rediscover their identity, character, and future in line with their religion and the contemporary needs of humanity. In the increasing interaction of different faiths and ideologies in the post-modernist environment, Islam is not often represented and understood in its comprehensiveness. “Islamic Paradigm of Life” by Professor Khurshid Ahmad helps understand the distinction of Islam as a paradigm of life (deen). Written in the context of modern and traditional streams of knowledge, the book touches upon diverse realms of theology, philosophy, and policy with a rational approach.
