Rubina Sheikh from Helsingborg in southern Sweden believes she’s received a message from God – in a rotten mango.
As the two halves of Sheikh’s freshly sliced mango fell away from her knife last Saturday, she discovered what she says is a sign from God.
“When I sliced the mango in two, ‘Allah’ was written in one half and ‘Muhammad’ in the other. It’s a miracle, a sign from Allah,” said Sheikh to the Metro newspaper.

The practicing Muslim is convinced that the black lines emanating through the fruit form characters in Arabic which spell the holy words.
And local Muslims have been streaming in to see the miracle for themselves.
...an emeritus professor in Islam from nearby Lund University is less convinced the rotting fruit is a sign from Allah.
“There are 14 recognized ways to create the word ‘Allah’. When you think about how many mangoes there are out there, it’s not strange that one of them has a pattern which can be interpreted to be the right combination of characters,” said Jan Hjärpe to Metro.
I'm waiting for the name to appear in my omelet.
But I'll make sure my eggs are fresh.

That poses the question:
Does this imply that mo hamm ed is as rotten as the mango in which his "name" appeares?
The absurdity of what many people call "signs" from GOD reaches new bounds each day. To believe that GOD would place a "sign" from him into a rotten fruit is beyond reality. As 99.999999999% of the people who found a mango that was rotten inside would simply toss it into the trash shows the absurdity. GOD would not bury his message. GOD wants man to see his message and to FOLLOW his words, he would NOT put a message in a rotten fruit where it would almost certainly never be seen.
People who come up with these "signs" are those who are weak of faith and use such "signs" as a means of convincing others that they are strong in their faith AND that their religion is strong.
Follow the word of GOD and stop attempting to convince others that GOD has chosen "you" because "you" are of extraordinary importance. GOD frowns upon such antics.
