The weekly MB Review:- Breaking News, Peace at last, provocative Pope
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Breaking News: Peace at last in the Holy Land
Under this peace accord, Palestinian refugees have the right to return back, while Jerusalem will be designated as the City of Peace under the jurisdiction of the United Nations, freely open to all worshipers of the three faiths.
Stock markets around the world are soaring, oil prices dropping, while fragile economies celebrating the big boost, as dividends from a much welcomed peace accord. Throughout the Middle East and beyond, significant resources are being redirected from defense spending to nation building, infrastructure, improving education and fighting poverty and unemployment.
"Decades of injustice, greed, distrust, and wars are replaced with hope, peace and prosperity" a comment well echoed at the signing ceremony, "this was possible because ordinary people finally realized that peace in the Holy Land can directly improve everyone's daily lives, and impact the entire world at large".
Is this breaking news too good to be true?
Did this peace accord really take place, or is it April fools?
Or, did we just report the story a bit too soon?
The provocative Pope: Much was said about the Muslim man baptized by the Pope during this week Easter Ceremony. Most news networks reported this story as worthy news. We find it interesting while nearly 500 people embrace Islam daily here in the USA, and thousands more in other parts of the world, we hardly find news coverage, yet one man converting the other way around, gets all the attention! Well in some way, we actually find it logical, don't you?

A Conversation with a Zionist : Have you ever wondered what it maybe like for the Palestinians under Israel occupation to negotiate a settlement and peaceful solution for their freedom and homeland? So, what goes inside the mind of a Zionist, how is it like for someone like you and me who is not under the stress of occupation, living in a very comfortable environment to engage in a hypothetical negotiation with a Zionist who is equality living a very comfortable life in New York. Can such two people come to an agreement and offer a glimpse of hope?

Practical Steps to Spiritual Fulfillment : Spiritual fulfillment is possible only when we strive with all our body, mind, and soul to live in conformity with Allah’s will. Stated differently, we cannot attain fulfillment or felicity in life unless we strive to fulfill the very purpose of our existence.

Cultivating the Generosity of Spirit : The way people relate to wealth influences most aspects of their personal lives. For many people today, in a world where economics plays a much greater role in a persons life than ever before; where the courses we study, the professions we choose, the jobs we do, the position we hold ... all make us to focus on the income we get; so much so that we have become pre-occupied and accustomed to focusing our attention where wealth is.

The Functions of Mountains on earth : In the Quran, Allah informs us about one of the useful purposes of Mountains "We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance. (21:31) This video offers scientific analysis on how mountains provide stability for earth, revelations only discovered with modern science, yet revealed in Quran over 1400 years ago!

Islam and Modern Science playlist : Another MB video channel for Creation, Evolution & Atheists. The Muslim declaration of faith starts with "I declare there is no god", then continues "But God ...". Perhaps Muslims have a better understanding of atheists. After all, there is too much superstition in religion; it is hard to comprehend the concept that God is 1 in 3, or 3 in 1. Combine all this with religious intolerance exhibited in historical perspective over past centuries.
What a recipe to reject faith all together! But, not just yet ...
In Islam, we worship the Creator, not the creation, and believe God is One. Muslims also understand the purpose of Life! Muslims wish to extend an invitation of understanding to all Atheists. This page will not feature content based on faith alone, rather based on logic, reason, and modern science. Find out why many Atheists embrace Islam and become Muslims, in fact, very good Muslims! Please share it. http://www.muslimbridges.org
