This podcast song was penned in light of the current crisis in Israel-Palestine as well as Russia-Ukraine, but also reflects upon the countless unnecessary wars and battles over centuries in the name of politics and religion. Human beings have advanced in warfare to the extent that they can now destroy entire cities or communities with the push of a button, as seen with the atomic bomb - a prime example of the destructive extent of humankind. Furthermore, warfare has become increasingly insensitive when it comes to harming, abducting and bombing children and women.
Where do we stand as the human race? Despite evolutionary changes and social advancement, humans in general are unable to restrain themselves and maintain peace.
Humanity needs to come towards peace regardless of the situation and reflect upon the wrongs committed under political or religious pretexts. The concept that is very difficult to entertain in any religious denomination is that a person from a different faith is just as special and has a role in God’s plan. Together we are whole, and as we come together hand in hand, the artificial borders created by us will disappear on their own. We will thrive as humans once more. We're all part of God’s spirit and one with God. The world belongs to all of us. It is time for us to revisit old teachings and forge a new path to let humanity shine. Once we label someone, we tend to automatically divide them. We divide each other based on our names as well as our faith. We fail to see that we are indeed all connected.

Similarities between world religions. Don't be surprised if I say that there are quite a few similarities across all major religions out there. Let's take a look at them. Well, all of the major religions believe in a higher power. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe in a single god, while Hindus believe in multiple gods.
Mohammed K Paika:These religions also often have sacred texts that guide the beliefs and practices of their followers. These texts provide a moral and ethical framework dictating what is considered right and wrong within that religion. In addition, all religions have certain rituals and acts of worship that are central to their religious practice. These include meditation, prayer, fasting and religious ceremonies. Religions also emphasize community togetherness and communal worship.
Mohammed K Paika:Followers may attend an institution such as a synagogue, church, mosque or temple. Religions offer explanations of the universe, the purpose of life, and what happens after death. These metaphysical explanations can provide meaning to followers and sometimes something to anticipate in the afterlife. Over time, religions have developed artifact s and symbols that hold significant meaning, such as the cross in Christianity or crescent moon in Islam. Religions are also associated with specific founders, prophets, messengers, or incarnations of the divine that followers revere.
Mohammed K Paika:The common thread in all religions includes an emphasis on compassion, kindness, and ethical principles such as treating others with respect, helping those in need, and living a life of integrity. In addition, religion all have a tradition of myths, stories, parables, and historical accounts that convey moral lessons, spiritual truths, or metaphysical explanations. These stories are often used as teaching tools. While belief systems and specific rituals vary between faiths, ultimately, most religions converge on core values of compassion, community, and living an ethical life. The commonalities underscore our shared humanity across religious divides.
Mohammed K Paika:Respect and understanding between faiths allows for peaceful coexistence.
