Woman says mango has Arabic words for God

Muslims have been streaming to a home in southern Sweden to view a mango that reportedly has the Arabic words for Allah and Muhammad written inside.

Rubina Sheikh of Helsingborg, Sweden. says black lines in the fruit form characters in Arabic that spell the holy words, Sweden's The Local reported Wednesday.

"When I sliced the mango in two, 'Allah' was written in one half and 'Muhammad' in the other," said Sheikh. "It's a miracle, a sign from Allah."

Local Muslims have been heading to Sheikh's home to see the mango, The Local said.

But Jan Hjarpe, a professor of Islam from nearby Lund University, said he isn't convinced the rotting fruit is a sign from Allah.

"There are 14 recognized ways to create the word 'Allah,'" Hjarpe said to The Local. "When you think about how many mangoes there are out there, it's not strange that one of them has a pattern that can be interpreted to be the right combination of characters."

Well I can tell you zp I am one christian that does read my bible at least 3 times a day and prayer throughout the day. I walk by His spirit and not by my flesh. I happen to know a man who was of Islam and has changed to believe in Jesus you might have heard of him "christian prince" he is a very good teacher of your religion. So I just want you to know that maybe not all christian know but there are many who do!! Not only that those who have ears hear what the spirit is saying and those who have eyes see what the spirit is showing us. We know. We are prepared. We know the truth of what it is really about. Believe me zp we know. I do pray for you that you would pick up the Holy Scriptures and read it, it's in there too. God has told us before hand what is going to happen His prophecy have been fullfilled to the tee to 100 percent. Can any other so god do that? No. Search for you self it's all there. If you are true to yourself you deserve to find the truth and it will set you FREE> God bless you

Who said we worship the black stone, we only face the black stone at prayers. Every muslim throughout the world has to face one direction.
I do not agree that christians know about Islam.
First of all get the english translation and read it. There are christians who do not know their own bible, they only listen to the sermons

Kaaba, Black stone, hajr-e-aswad. Isam's most sanctuary and pilgrimage shine. They touch and kiss it. They pray to it 5 times a day. Really it is sad. It is just a stone. It can't hear, it can't talk, it can see. It would be like me talking to one of the lava rocks out here. If I were you zp I would really check it out. You should know what it is all about. Yes Islam is growing but most of all we know it. We know alot. We have a source. I can't see worshipping a piece of rock. It is really unreal.

Geez!! It is just a mango. If we start thinking that their is a god in a mango or whatever it is we are being decieved. Jesus said to test all spirits and believe me Jesus would never come in a mango because He is the MOST HIGH GOD.
But if allah wants to be in a mango...oh brother..foolishness. allah is not God. Jesus is.
