The Trump administration's outrageous detention of Mahmoud is designed to instill terror in students speaking out for Palestinian freedom and immigrant communities.
This is the fascist playbook. We all must fiercely reject it, and universities must start protecting its students.

They tell me
that autumn
a time when everything
in nature
begins to die
is the best time
to plant new life
You plant hope they say
in the cold, inhospitable soil
knowing that the death
of everything
around you
signals a quiet rebirth
waiting
patiently
underground
with a smile
- Ayeda -

I always thought if there is ever a genocide again in our time, everybody I know will stop everything they're doing and fully focus on ending it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to live in a world where this didn't happen at all.

This is a litmus test for *any* religious movement -- Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, you name it.
If the core of your philosophy is not love and compassion, you are fundamentally misunderstanding what religion is supposed to be.

6/n Conclusion
In Islam, God introduces himself first and foremost as the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful.
The same concepts permeate the Quran, and Prophet Muhammad's teaching, whom God Allah named “Prophet of Mercy to the Entire World”
Thanks for reading. Comments Welcome.

5/n Yet, this first sentence seemingly repeats the same one, about Compassion, about Mercy, twice.
Bonus fact: Quran has 114 Chapters. And every single one starts with this exact same sentence!
(one chapter is an exception... for another day).

In fact, these two names are from same root & share 4 of their 5 letters.
BUT: In Islam, God has 99 Divine Names:
The Creator, The Sovereign, The King, The Eternal One, The All Mighty, The Ever Living, The All Sustainer, The Truth, The All Wise, The Omniscient, the Knower or Unseen, and so on...

3/n So, what does that first sentence say? Here it is:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Recall: This sentence is the summary of the Entire Quran!!
And it includes Two Divine Names of God, which mean almost the same thing!!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

2/n A unique feature of Quran is its hierarchical structure: all the Quran is summarized in its first chapter, which is summarized in the first sentence.
This is precisely like modern scientific articles: "Article summarized in Introduction summarized in Abstract”, which is pretty remarkable

WHAT IS THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE QURAN? A SHORT THREAD
1/n The Quran is the Divine Book of Islam & Muslims believe it is the Word of God.
Regardless of whether you believe this, they reflect how Muslims view the Quran. So, if you want to know what Islam is, you start with the Quran..
