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."
