The parents of nine-month-old Ali Yakubov were stunned when the word Allah appeared on his chin soon after his birth.
Since then scores of writings in Arabic script have emerged on his back, arms, legs and stomach.
Amazingly his family claim the old markings vanish before the new words arrive — twice a week.
Medics say they cannot explain his mysterious condition — but deny that the marks are from someone writing on the child's skin.
His mother, Madina, said that she and her husband were not religious until the words started appearing on his skin.
Initially they did not show anyone the unexplained scribbles, but eventually revealed them to their doctor.
Now the boy has become a focus of Muslim homage in his troubled home province of Dagestan, close to war-ravaged Chechnya in the south of Russia.
Local MP Akhmedpasha Amiralaev said: "This boy is a pure sign of God. Allah sent him to Dagestan in order to stop revolts and tension in our republic."
The tot's mother said: "Normally those signs appear twice a week - on Mondays and on the nights between Thursdays and Fridays.
"Ali always feels bad when it is happening. He cries and his temperature goes up.
"It's impossible to hold him when it's happening, his body is actively moving, so we put him into his cradle. It's so hard to watch him suffering."

But a couple in Colorado believe they have to right to garden in thongs and pasties, and - shocker--that's not sitting well with their neighbors.
The semi-nudists claim their landlord has discriminated against them by suggesting that they wear pants when they plant, so to speak.
The Associated Press says the landlord has accused Robert and Catharine "Pasties" Pierce of being a nuisance, largely because of their au natural approach to tending to their yard.
Police, however, say that as long as their ... um ... business is covered, they're not violating the law.
The AP says the landlord has threatened to evict them if they don't cover up.
"We want our freedom," said Robert Pierce, 58. "We want exactly what the law gives you, and we don't want to be harassed about it."
Right.
But what about the neighbors' right not to have to douse themselves with eye bleach every time they drive down their street?
Neighbor Emily Hink said her daughter's "jaw dropped" when she spotted Mrs. Pierce gardening in an outfit normally reserved for a Vegas showgirl review.
Hink said she doesn't care what the Pierces do behind closed doors and fences, but the nudie gardening out front is a little much.
"There are so many parks around here, and there are lots of kids around," Hink said. "They're on the corner lot right across the street from the community gardens and the Waldorf school. The whole street is lined with kids."
Makes your neighbors seem pretty normal, huh?
