Sifar Ki Tauheen / صفر کی توہین

By Ashar Najmi

While studying this novel, I felt that this novel is not just a creation that forces you to do some thinking, but it is actually about the natural and metaphysical questions related to human life, universe, God and destiny. There is a chain in which every serious reader is destined to be bound. Therefore, I am forced to call this novel a philosophical novel, and also to the best of my knowledge, it is the first philosophical novel in Urdu. (KHALID JAWED, Eminent Urdu Fiction Writer)

Ashar Najmi has tried to establish the modern discourse of the philosophical novel in Urdu. His novels 'Uss Ne Kaha tha' and 'Sifar Ki Tauheen' recreate the thematic and narrative mannerism of the Urdu novel and the human sanctity at the hands of all kinds of religious, social and cultural authorities. Creates a multi-sensory vision of constant depravity and its visceral and unspeakable losses. Ashar Najmi's two novels, especially this novel, form a new kind of Liberal Ontology which suggests that existence is a mixture of different elements and these elements can also be made part of an object through mental process. (SHAFE KIDWAI, Professor, Mass Communication, Aligarh Muslim University, India)

The beauty of the narrative in the novel is that despite the discussions of philosophical thought at the thematic level, the author does not make you afraid of being a miracle worker by taking you into the confusion of confusing terms, but by presenting events, dialogues and commentary in a straightforward manner, your curiosity is piqued., and you keep turning the pages.
