My name's Luis. I'm a Guatemalan-Puerto Rican Muslim from NYC who lives and studies in Ohio. Alhamdulillah for everything.

 

I remember being in love with this Arabic (alphabet) song when I started teaching myself the language. 5-6 years later I’m glad I can understand the whole thing. Alhamdulillah. 

And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,
And I seek refuge in You, my Lord , lest they be present with me.

Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:97-98)

May 24, 1883: The Brooklyn Bridge Opens

130 years ago today, the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public.

The Brooklyn Bridge was the first Ken Burns documentary to be broadcast on PBS. Explore Burns’s Brooklyn Bridge timeline, which shows the progression of the Manhattan-Brooklyn Bridge, which was the premier engineering feat of its time, and puts its construction in greater historical context.
