Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
… They have hearts with which they do not understand. They
have eyes with which they do not see. They have ears with which
they do not hear. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even fur-
ther astray! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
Even if We opened up to them a door into heaven, and they spent
the day ascending through it, they would only say: "Our eyesight
is befuddled! Or rather we have been put under a spell!" (Surat al-
Hijr, 14-15)
Words cannot express just how astonishing it is that this spell
should hold such a wide community in thrall, keep people from the
truth, and not be broken for 150 years. It is understandable that one or a
few people might believe in impossible scenarios and claims full of stu-

tion for people from all over the world believing that unconscious and
lifeless atoms suddenly decided to come together and form a universe
that functions with a flawless system of organization, discipline, rea-
son, and consciousness; a planet named Earth with all of its features so
perfectly suited to life; and living things full of countless complex sys-
tems.
In fact, the Qur'an relates the incident of the Prophet Musa (as) and
Pharaoh to show that some people who support atheistic philosophies
actually influence others by magic. When Pharaoh was told about the
true religion, he told the Prophet Musa (as) to meet with his own magi-
cians. When Moses (as) did so, he told them to demonstrate their abili-
ties first. The verses continue:
He said: "You throw." And when they threw, they cast a spell on the peo-
ple's eyes and caused them to feel great fear of them. They produced an
extremely powerful magic. (Surat al-A'raf, 116)
As we have seen, Pharaoh's magicians were able to deceive every-
one, apart from Moses (as) and those who believed in him. However,
his evidence broke the spell, or "swallowed up what they had forged,"
as revealed in the verse:
