him. However, his evidence broke the spell, or “swallowed up what

they had forged,” as revealed in the verse:
We revealed to Moses: “Throw down your staff.” And it immedi-
ately swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took place
and what they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A‘raf, 117-118)
As we can see, when people realized that a spell had been cast

upon them and that what they saw was just an illusion, Pharaoh’s
magicians lost all credibility. In the present day too, unless those who,
under the influence of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims
under their scientific disguise and spend their lives defending them,
abandon their superstitious beliefs, they also will be humiliated when
the full truth emerges and the spell is broken. In fact, world-renowned
British writer and philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge, who was an athe-

ist defending evolution for some 60 years, but who subsequently reali-
zed the truth, reveals the position in which the theory of evolution
would find itself in the near future in these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially

the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great
jokes in the history books in the future. Posterity will marvel
that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accep-
ted with the incredible credulity that it has. 21

That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see that
“chance” is not a deity, and will look back on the theory of evolution
as the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world. That spell
is already rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoulders of people
all over the world. Many people who see its true face are wondering
with amazement how they could ever have been taken in by it.
