Koranic Fish In Kenya

A message from Allah is present on the scales of a tuna caught in Kenya. The "wonder fish," as it is being called by the locals, is gaining so much attention that it has been taken into custody by the National Fisheries Department.

From Yahoo:

The otherwise ordinary fish caught the attention of fishmonger Omar Mohammed Awadh who pulled it out of a catch when he noticed what seemed to be Arabic writing among the scales near its tail, they said.

Arabic scholars examined the fish and determined the writing was a Koranic verse meaning "God is the greatest of all providers," said Hassan Mohamed Hassan, an education officer with the National Museums of Kenya in Mombasa.

"This has been confirmed as a verse from the Holy Koran," said Sheikh Mombasa Dor, the secretary-general of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya.

"We believe that God brings these kinds of messages in many forms from time to time and that we should not only read the Holy Book, but practice what it says," he said.

Unlike the spelling of Allah that miraculously appeared on the lid of a Burger King ice cream treat, the blessed thunnus is unlikely to raise the call of jihad against tunafish.
