A renowned Islamic preacher based in Ibadan, Oyo State, Dr Dawood Amoo, has described the birth of a baby boy clutching a pocket-size Qur’an as one of the signs of Allah. Tribune reports.
In an interview with journalists in Ibadan, Amoo said although the development was not strange, the boy named Ismail was unique as the said mini Qur’an contained all the 114 chapters in the holy book.
The preacher testified that he was one of the earliest callers at the Owode/Academy, Ibadan residence of the parents of the baby to witness one of God’s wonders.
He said the mother, Jelilah, gave birth in a church at Oniyanrin area of the city, where the baby was seen clutching a strange object in his left hand.
“The woman, who took the delivery, thought it was one of the devilish drugs used by the mother to terminate the pregnancy, hence she threw it in the dustbin,” he explained.
Amoo said that the said object, which later turned out to be a pocket-size Qur’an, was wrapped in a thread.
He said that with the forceful removal of the object from its hand, the baby became restless and continued to clutch an empty fist.
“Following his restlessness, a local cleric advised them to go and bring what they took from the baby which later turned out to be a copy of the mini Qur’an.”
“They were all afraid to touch it until I got there and I had to remove the remaining thread on the object and to my surprise, it was a beautifully- designed pocket-size complete noble Qur’an,” Amoo Said.
He said although the Qur’an was small, the lettering inside was readable and complete from chapter one to chapter 114 of the holy book.
Expectedly, the news filtered into town and Ibadan people had since turned the residence into a mecca of sort.
Jelilah, the elated mother of the baby, said since September, when the baby was born, nobody could take the Qur’an away from him, as he would be restless until he clutched it.
The father of the baby, identified simply as Semiu, said he thanked Allah for the blessings, saying it was an indication that Allah wanted them back in the fold of Islam.
Semiu, a driver, said paucity of funds has caused his wife to put to bed at a nearby church, as they were both not practising any faith.
He said with the signs directly from Allah, “I have resolved that my wife and I will revert to Islam and be worshipping our Creator till we answer His call.”
A similar baby was born in a Lagos church in 2012 clutching a copy of the Qur’an.

ReplyDeleteWhy are all this so called signs happening in Yoruba land? This is obviously a Yoruba voodoo and that is why the northern Muslim don't accept Yoruba Muslim.
DeleteYORUBA MUSLIMS! Una don START AGAIN? I hope to see a YORUBA MUSLIM baby BORN with the BLACK STONE in MECCA/MEDINA. RUBBISH!
ReplyDeleteYou are on your own. Either you believe or not does not make it a lie. I'm a living witness of the event. Alhamdulilah for been a Muslim.
DeleteInteresting story but incomplete in details. Are the parents suggesting that the baby came out of the mothers virgina with the Koran in his hands, or are they saying he clutched a small sized Koran he found after birth? If the claim is that the baby came out of the womb with the Koran in hand, then the problem here is that the reporting journalist has not quoted a doctor or nurse present giving an independent account of the strange occurrence. This story would indeed be a wonder if it were hundred per cent factual but the chances of this being true is improbable. If Allah wants to provide unquestionable proof of the divinity of the Quoran, he can make a new baby begin reciting the Koran from start to finish on the first day of birth so that camera crews can gather to showcase the wonder to the rest of the world. Most likely this story is the figment of some creative Muslim's imagination
DeleteNice analysis. At least a picture of the baby being born with the Quran or even a video of the birth would have spoken volumes.
DeleteI know of a boy that was born with Dollars, Pounds and Euro in his hand. How about that for miracle. Muslims are catching up with Pastors performing miracles. Organize religion is full of crap and bunch of idiots that will believe anything in the name of religion.
ReplyDeleteOn point bros! It's not their fault anyway. Any sane person will not continue speaking if he discovers he doesn't have audience anymore. Therefore, acts like these both Islamic clerics and pastors are sustained by their gullible followers and audience. So much harm has been done to Africa in the name of religion. Our backwardness has a lot to do with our religious inclination.
Deletebring pocket quran what is that surpose to mean , boko Haram leader is reading big quran yet is destroying the peace of this country . abeg forget that thin we are not a kid
ReplyDeleteNa today yash dey back? funny religion with their magic power
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a sign for the wise and right thinking people. Islam is the only and true religion. Research more and think without bias. Almighty Allah will surely guide you aright if you want guidance
ReplyDeleteMust you lie to tell us what is Islam is all about? The reason nobody will believe your fake story is that it is too unreal to be true and the world is more enlightened and knowledgeable now than making up stories which can not be seen to be true.
ReplyDeleteWhat baffles me is that the baby shown in the picture is not even a day or a week old baby ... why make up lies to preach a religion.. you are so foolish man.
