Muslims see Allah's name on pet fish

LIVERPOOL, England, March 27 (UPI) -- Two fish purchased at an English pet shop by Ali AlWaqedi, 23, appear to have Arabic inscriptions on their scales.

One Oscar fish bearing the name Allah and the other Mohammed are living in a fish tank in Liverpool while drawing crowds of the faithful to witness the "miracle."

Ali said: "This is a message from Allah to me, a reminder, and now my faith is stronger. Everyone is so excited by the discovery," reported the Liverpool Echo.

Leaders at the nearby Al-Rahma mosque in Hatherley Street, are in no doubt about the authenticity.

Sheikh Sadek Kassem, the mosque's Imam, said, "This is a proof and a sign not just to Liverpool's Muslims, but for everyone."

Locals flocked to the village pet shop, Water Aquatic, after it was noticed that the markings on the scales of the 2-year-old albino Oscar fish mimicked the Arabic script for Allah.
