Arabic Script from the Koran Appear on Boy’s Skin

A boy has become a walking monument to Muslim faith after passages from the Koran started appearing on his skin.

Text in Arabic from the religious book started showing on the boy’s back, arms, legs and stomach, leaving doctors baffled.

They first started appearing shortly after the baby was born, with “Allah” appearing on his chin, The Sun reports.

Doctors say the markings are a medical mystery, but deny the condition is a result of someone writing on the child’s skin.

The parents of the child initially hid the mysterious writings, but eventually took the boy to the doctor.

They say the old passages fade before new words appear roughly twice a week.

“Normally those signs appear twice a week – on Mondays and on the nights between Thursdays and Fridays,” the mother said.

“Ali always feels bad when it is happening. He cries and his temperature goes up.

“It’s impossible to hold him when it’s happening, his body is actively moving, so we put him into his cradle. It’s so hard to watch him suffering”, his Mother said.

Since the holy markings were revealed, the boy became the focus of Muslim homage in his hometown province of Dagestan, in the south of Russia. [NEWS.com.au]

My Opinion

My first reaction to this story was complete surprise, I found it hard to believe that a boy could having writing on his body appearing and disappearing. And when I think about what some followers of Islam will believe im sure it will cause a massive amount of interest. Im not quite sure what could have caused the markings but im a little suspicious of the markings coming and going, it will be interesting to see whether the parents had anything to do with it.
