Bismillāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm.
This is the standard Basmala of Islam. It is the phrase recited before each chapter of the Qur'an except 9th. In Islamic countries, Basmala is usually the first phrase of preamble.
(Un)surprisingly, archaeology has discovered that Basmala is Jewish in origin!
In 2018, archaeologists found an inscription from ancient Jewish settlement of Jabal Dabub in Yemen.
The text of the inscription reads "bismillah rahman rahim" (In the name of Allah, the merciful)
PS: Before the coming of Islam, the Jews of Yemen and Arabia used to address their God by the name "Allah".

@whispererAB @darab_farooqui The fact that ur using M word after Indian indicates it is still the same mentality that divided India and created Pakistan.
In the 1952 & 1954 LS polls, Congress defeated Baba Saheb Ambedkar in Dadar, Bombay. Nehru openly campaigned against Ambedkar.
It was Jan Sangh's SP Mookerjee who got Ambedkar to Rajya Sabha when Congress ensured his LS poll defeat.
Never ever forget. And never ever forgive Congress.
For decades they looted people’s money, weakened India’s security and mocked our culture. NO LONGER!
“Don't call grown up girl students on stage. Who called this girl on stage? Never repeat this. You’ll face consequences if you do.” - A video claimed to be of a prize distribution ceremony of a school in most literate Kerala has gone viral.
@sardesairajdeep No need to confuse people with multiple metrics like decadal growth and TFR. Here's simple census data from 1951 to 2011: the % of Hindus in the total population declined while the Muslims increased CENSUS AFTER CENSUS.
So we should scrap Ministry of Minority Affairs 1st and it is based on religion.
Then we should scrap WAQF, it is also based on religion.
Then we should pass UCC, as it is independent of religion.
@asadowaisi ready?
Nowruz was originally a Zoroastrian festival. Today, almost all Iranians are Muslims. Yet, they all celebrate Nowruz with great pomp and many see themselves as cultural inheritors of ancient Persia.
How is it that Indian origin Muslims do not celebrate ancient Indian festivals like Holi, Sankranti, Ugadi etc. What explains this stark difference in attitude?
This attitude is not confined just to festivals. Most Iranian Muslims carry Persian names. Some names like Khurshid, Jamshid, Mehrdad etc are the names of Zoroastrian divinities. On the contrary, one would be hard-pressed to find Indian Muslims with Sanskrit names.
Persians also celebrate their Pre-Islamic heroes like Rustam. The Persian epic Shahnameh which glorifies these Pre-Islamic heroes is the biggest bestseller in Islamic world after Qur'an. By contrast, how many Indian origin Muslims celebrate Bhima or Arjuna?
Persepolis, the ancient Zoroastrian capital of Persia, is beautifully maintained by today's Islamic Government of Iran. Contrast this with how Pakistan maintains Sharada temple in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. The difference could not have been more apparent.
