Muslims frequently refer to these pictures as miracles of Allah, as if Allah is actually speaking to the world through natural phenomena.
So are these Allah’s miracles? Well lets find out.
This is the claimed story behind these pictures, and I quote:
Claims like the following were made about those images:
The above are pictures of trees in Germany, declaring the Islamic Creed in Arabic. The Creed reads: "No god but Allah, Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." This proves the existence of Allah Almighty, and that Muhammad is His Messenger and that the Qur'an is truly a Revelation.
Branches of Trees in Germany
The branches of the trees lining a path distributed in the shape of declaration of the Islamic creed in the Arabic language that affirms the Oneness of Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). It reads
'La ilaha Illahau Muhammad-ur-Rasulullaha
There is no deity but Allah and Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is the Messenger of Allah.
This is a scene on a piece of cultivated farmland in Germany.
Many Germans embraced Islam upon seeing this miraculous sight.
The German government put steel fences around that part of the farm
to prevent people from visiting and witnessing this miraculous site.
This discovery is no surprise. Allah has revealed in the Holy Qur'an:
Their intention is to extinguish Alaah's light (by blowing)
with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light,
even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
Al Qur'an 61:8
Brother Nor Razak of M.U.I.S. (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapore) has
confirmed that both Mr. Hasan Asyur and Dar Al-Iktisam are reliable
sources. Mr Hasan Asyur is a renowned writer who is the author of
many Islamic books and Dar Al-Iktisam is a well-known publisher
of such books.
Muslims typically state that the phenomena created an upheaval in Germany, and chocked the government to such an extent that the police fenced the area to keep the public ignorant.
But is this story true?
No!
The hoax has been exposed even by a Muslim himself.
I quote a letter written by Ragei Elgamil a Egyptian Muslim in response to anyone who considers the German three phenomena to be of any miraculous significance.

Alsalumu Alykum wa rahmatu ALLAH wa Barakatu,
I am writing to you my sister in islam to express my gratitude and respect to your self for the very good effort you making here to promote understanding and daawa for islam.
I am originaly from Egypt and I live currently in Australia. I have seen your section about miracles and the pictures you showed. I refer in particular to the picture of the German farm and the human lung.
First of all I would like to tell you that as muslims we need no extra proof that ALLAH exists. Daawah to islam has never been by showing extra terristial mericales it has been and will always be by showing the muslims life style and by good example and on top of all of that by good manners in reasoning with others.
I am sorry for this long introduction, basically what I want to say is that those pictures are fake ones. Ten years ago there was a frenzy between muslims in Egypt to buy those pictures and was sold every where. One day one of my relatives bought one of them and was quite impressed of the pictures. I told him what those picture will do for you, if you realy beleive in ALLAH. He said it only a stange thing. Any way few weeks later I was lestinning to one of the local radio stations, I heard some one -I know personaly- his name is Dr. Sayed Al-Khudari. Dr. Al-Kudari is a medical practioner and is very well known of his artistic interest and islamic background. Dr. Al-khudari mentioned that some people took few of his pictures that he draw with his own hands and wrote a story around it. He said he doesn't know who is the publisher and he doesn't care if any one use it, but it gives a very bad image about islam and muslims. It basically show us as stubid people who can beleive any thing they could be told.
I could not beleive what I heard but straight away I went to one of Dr. Al-Kudari art galleries. I found these two pictures with his own signature on each of them. The two pictures are the one in your web site with the German farm and the other one is the human lung picture.
I am realy sorry my sister in islam, I might have disappointed you but I realy urge you to remove the pictures from your web site. With all the facts you have in your web site any little lie will show the whole web site as a big lie.
You may need to investigate my claim by contacting Dr. Sayed Al-Khudari in Egypt, Al-Mansoura University, Faculty of medicine. I am sure if you send him a letter to the address description I mentioned or you may try to track down his email address some how, I am sure he will be able to tell you the truth.
There are lots of people who might use islam or any thing to make a cheap benefit. Please, sister don't put any thing on your web site unless it is 100% true. If I were you I wouldn't put any thing at all of this nature whether it is true or not.
MAY ALLAH BE MY WITNESS.
your brother in islam
Ragaei Elgamil
In other words
1. The story is a lie, a fabrication from beginning to end
2. Forget all about Germany, the reaction, the police, the fence
3. The trees do not even exist
4. The pictures we saw are a nothing but a painting. Dr. Sayed Al-Khudar in Egypt, Al-Mansoura University painted the pictures and may be contacted.
Dr. Sayed even painted a third pictures of a human lung resembling Koranic phrases or praise to Allah as well.
When I first time heard the story, I thought maybe it is true, however, there are so many similar phenomena in the world, but any way I choose to be open. I also counted the possibility that such a phenomena could be caused by experiments.
However, when I first time saw this picture, in a food-store in a Muslim country in 2001 I was everything but amazed. I thought to myself that these pictures, not look like photos at all, the features are far too obvious, and I wondered why Muslim would lower themselves by clinging to this kind of stupidity.
I remember, that I also wondered why the pictures were so unclear, where they trying to hide these features? Secondly, why have Muslims been unable to reveal the actual name of the German location?
