Q: I have a bit of a strange question. What does Mufti have to say when the signs of Allah appears in a persons everyday life. The first experience was the words of "Allah" in arabic that appeared on the foam layer of a cuppicinno" When i saw it initially brushed the idea away as a coincidence. But 3 months later the same sign appeared on the left hand side of my chest. It was the same arabic writing of the words "Allah" which appeard as a red raised skin rash. It disappeared after a week or so. On another occation i was cutting my nails and i noticed the same or arabic words Allah was engraved in my tagiyat finger nail. As the nail grows and as i cut it .. it would later grow back at a later stage. Of late it appeared again as a rash on my right forearm. These signs will seem to come and go . I am truely greatfull for it but i am always wonder what the meaning of it all is . I would like my details to be anonymous.
