Page 119 - Satan's Sly Game: The False Religion of People-Worship

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

with which they do not hear. Such people are like cattle.
No, they are even further 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 stupidity and illogicality. However, "magic" is
the only possible explanation 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 flaw-
less system of organization, discipline, reason, and conscious-
ness; 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, in the Qur'an Allah relates the incident of the Prophet
Moses (pbuh) and Pharaoh to show that some people who sup-
port atheistic philosophies actually influence others by magic.
When Pharaoh was told about the true religion, he told the
Prophet Moses (pbuh) to meet with his own magicians. When
the Prophet Moses (pbuh) did so, he told them to demonstrate
their abilities first. The verses continue:

He said: "You throw." And when they threw, they cast a
spell on the people's eyes and caused them to feel great fear
of them. They produced an extremely powerful magic.
