The word of God
26/ 1/2004
A STUDENT says he feels blessed after finding that Arabic word
for God in a leek.
Thirty-four-year-old Asif Hamid was preparing his evening meal when
he cut off root of the vegetable he noticed the word Allah
inscribed on the cross section.
Said Asif: "It's hard to describe the feeling of finding the word
Allah in a vegetable..
"But I really should not have been surprised. After all is says in
the Quran that you can always find Allah in nature and this shows
the Quran means what it says.
"I was really excited and I'm still amazed about my
discovery."
Asif is now trying to preserve the leek and seeking information on
how to stop it from decaying.
He said: "You can't just throw away something like this so I have
been getting in touch with people to find out how I can keep it in
its best form.
"You read about things like this all the time but you never think
it will happen to you."
