Recognize this writing?
By:
Post # 1
I went home this weekend and I found this little book charm just chilling on a table, and I asked whose it was. My dad said he found it cleaning and has no idea, so now it's mine :3 It has this curious "writing" on the front and back cover of the book. It feels hollow and I think it may be a mass-produced thing because of this ugly little nub coming off the bottom of it. I think it looks a bit like Arabic, so I guessed maybe it is a mini Qu'ran? Anyone have any ideas? If the photos are too blurry (cellphone pics) I can enhance them on Photoshop.

I think your original impression of it being a Qu'ran may be correct.

I found this picture which is pretty darn close.

( and yea, i forgot to remove the space in your link lol )

Ohh neat picture, I love Muslim stuff. The back cover of my little book is the writing for Allah, I'm pretty sure, going by this picture:

Still a little unclear on the cover. I think it may be "Muhammad"? Going by this:

What is totally weird about the whole thing is that the people who had the place before us were not Muslim (we know them) and well, I don't think it came from my family's stuff because they aren't Muslim nor (as far as I know) have they ever known any Muslim people or been anywhere to get this charm, lol.

Pretty neat :3

Well, I should mention that I have been holding the book wrong XD Arabic is read right-to-left, so my "back" cover reading Allah is technically the front. I've been meaning to get off my butt and learn Arabic.

I hope this little charm is a good omen. I like to try and find luck and 'signs' in whatever I can, it's just a little quirk... my way of making the most out of the moment. I've been having a pretty poopy year, so maybe it's just a sign that I'm being looked over :)
