What reason could you have for not striving in the Way of God?

By Harun Yahya

Today when we look around the world we see that there is bloodshed, conflict and dissension everywhere. We see people suffering in poverty, we see people suffering under the rule of ruthless dictators, we see people being tormented because of their beliefs, we see people –people from the same religion- tormenting each other, and we see people – people who say they believe in God- fight with each other.

It is a natural physiographic unit clearly separated from the rest of Burma by a long and high impassible hill range of Arakan Yoma and also located far away from Indian capitals. The relation Chittagong and Arakan is influenced by geographical, cultural and historical considerations.
