THE PROPHET MOSES (PBUH)
DEMOLISHED THE IDOL OF HIS TIME
cording to the superstitious beliefs of the ancient
Egyptians, "Snakes, frogs, earthworms and mice were
A made up of the mud of the Nile." That is to say, one of
the main claims of Darwinism, which is, the fallacy that "living beings
came into being by chance" was also a widespread belief in ancient
Egypt. Consequently when the Prophet Moses (pbuh) started to communi-
cate the message, with the miracles Allah granted to him, he first tended to
remove these superstitious beliefs of Egyptians. He eradicated the evolu-
tionist conceptions. When the Prophet Moses (pbuh) went to communicate
Allah's message to Pharaoh, similar to contemporary Darwinists' questions
and line of thought, Pharaoh also asked him, "What about the previous
generations? "(Surat al-Anbiya, 51) The Prophet Moses (pbuh), on the
other hand, responded by Allah's inspiration and said: "Knowledge of
them is with my Lord in a Book. My Lord does not misplace nor does
He forget.' (Surat al-Anbiya, 52) and explained Creation providing its ev-
idences.
In the Qur'an Allah relates that when the Prophet Moses (pbuh) threw
his sceptor, it turned into an alive snake. When the Prophet Moses (pbuh)
threw his sceptor, a non-living branch turned into a living snake and when
he took it into his hand, it turned again into a non-living branch and finally
when he threw it once again, it once again became alive. That is to say, a
non-living being first becomes alive, then it dies and then it revives once
again. With this miracle, Allah shows constant Creation to human beings.
