He may be only a year old, but Russian Muslim baby boy Ali Yakubov has taken his country by storm. The infant, whose family are devout members of the Muslim community in southern Russia’s troubled Dagestan region, has been hailed a miracle by Muslim clerics and believers as verses of the Qur’an have been “seen” to appear on his skin since he was a few weeks old. While his mother, the local imam and even members of Moscow’s largest Mosque are convinced of Ali’s authenticity, members of Russia’s scientific community are sceptical, citing the scriptures as a mere skin disorder.
