Verse from Koran written on a fish

I thought only the Virgin Mary caused this kind of tourism.

A tuna fish caught in the Indian Ocean recently has excited Kenyan Muslims who are flocking here by the hundreds to see a Koranic verse apparently embedded in its scales.

“It is so clearly spelt,” he said. “That is why we believe that Allah is sending a message to mankind.”

Hundreds of Muslims and curiosity seekers flocked to Awadh’s Takaungu Fresh Fish Shop to see the tuna on Friday, prompting concerns for its safety and its removal to a refrigerated locker at the fisheries department.

Let me know when the fish starts talking.

    “so clearly spelt” or “so clearly smelt”?

    I think the smell at Awadh’s Takaungu Fresh Fish Shop would be difficult to identify as being special.
