JUSTICE AND COMPASSION IN THE QUR'AN

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 atheist defending evolution for
some 60 years, but who subsequently realized 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 accepted with the incredible credulity that it has. 71
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.

They said "Glory be to You!
We have no knowledge except what
You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing,

the All-Wise."
(Surat al-Baqara, 32)
