A woman is claiming to have seen the names of Allah and Prophet Mohammed spelled out in the entrails of a cow she was butchering, state media reported today.

Salmah Nayan told Bernama news agency she could decipher the words written in Arabic script among the intestines of the cow, which had been slaughtered ahead of a wedding party.

"I cut those intestines twice. At first I didn't notice it but after I turned it around a few times it became clear the words 'Allah' and 'Mohammed' were there," she said.

Nayan said the divine discovery had attracted more attention than the newlyweds.

The bride's mother said her family would keep the intestines as a reminder of God's greatness.
