About five years ago 33 year
old Mikail Guclu from the Regent Quarter of the Hague, Holland, bought some eggs
fresh from the farm and as usual had them on sale in his shop. But two of the
eggs seemed slightly strange. "I noticed that the shells were a little misshapen."
he said "Very odd, just like Arabic letters, And then suddenly I saw it: 'Allah'."
Reason enough for him to call a friend. He himself speaks four languages but his
knowledge of Arabic is limited and besides, he wanted to hear all the 'ins and
outs' of it. "But I
could hardly believe what he said - what he could read on the egg was "There is
but one God, Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." That’s why I asked others just
to be on the safe side, and I went to the mosque, to the imam. Everyone said the
same thing." Guclu
discovered the "miracle beans" while sorting through them two days after he had
purchased the eggs. He had bought about five kilos of beans, about 500 grams of
which bear the name 'Allah'. Guclu
believes that what subsequently happened with the beans is even more of a miracle.
He gave some of the 'Allah beans to friends. Out of respect he did not feel he
could sell the remaining beans; he decided to give them to the mosque, and requested
that they be cooked and shared among the congregation. " About forty people enjoyed
a complete meal from those beans and there was still food left over. The imam
told me later; " We could serve as much as we wished, and the supply was still
not exhausted." |
