240 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

an inanimate matter comes to life and then becomes lifeless, and
then comes to life again. With this miracle, God shows us the con-
stant creation. God commands in the verses:

He threw it down and suddenly it was a slithering snake. He
said, ‘Take hold of it and have no fear. We will return it to its
original form.’ (Surah Ta Ha, 20-21)

‘Throw down what is in your right hand. It will swallow up
their handiwork. Their handiwork is just a magician’s trick.
Magicians do not prosper wherever they go.’ (Surah Ta Ha, 69)

(Surat an-Naml, 10)

When the Prophet Moses (pbuh) threw his staff to the
ground, as a blessing of God, an inanimate piece of wood turned
into a very much alive creature that slithered and swallowed the
conjurations of the others; in other words, a creature with a func-

life by God simply willing it, in other words, with His command
‘Be’. This miracle that God granted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh)
shattered the superstitious evolutionary beliefs of the Egyptians of
the time with a single blow, and even those who were against the
Prophet Moses (pbuh) realized the truth at that very moment, re-
nouncing their superstitious beliefs and believing in God.
Furthermore, God informs us in the Qur’an about how the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) made a clay object in the shape of a bird and
breathed into it, and how the bird came to life by God’s Will:
Remember when God said, “Jesus, son of Mary, remember My
blessing to you and to your mother when I reinforced you with
the Purest Spirit so that you could speak to people in the cradle
and when you were fully grown; and when I taught you the
