The Dark Spell of Darwinism

Heavens and the Lord of the Mighty Throne?" They will say: "Allah." Say:
"So will you not guard against evil?" Say: "In whose hand is the dominion
over everything, He Who gives protection and from Whom no protection
can be given, if you have any knowledge?" They will say: "Alah's." Say: "So
how have you been bewitched?" The fact is that We have given them the
truth and they are liars. (Surat Al-Muminun:78-90)

From these verses, we can see that even though these people know
that Allah is the Creator of all things and the Judge of heaven and Earth,
still they reject religious morals. They also reject the revelations made by
Allah's messengers concerning the resurrection and the afterlife and even
regard these truths as simply myths from the past.
How can these people be so resolute in denying the existence of
Allah, even though they have seen and acknowledged the proofs for it?
The answer to this question is contained in the verse quoted above:
"So how have you been bewitched?" With this verse, Allah reveals that
these people are bewitched, in that they behave as if under the influence
of a spell cast upon them.
Why do some people employ such false suggestions and sorcery to
deceive both themselves and others?
Anyone who believes in Allah's existence and eternal power and who
doesn't pretend he cannot understand this truth also realizes that in addi-

human being, from nothing and has put a multitude of things in the uni-
verse at his service. Anyone who understands that his birth, life and death
all lie within the power of Allah's will, must use his whole life to please the
Creator Who created him from nothing and endowed him with so many
blessings.
Those who, in their arrogance, do not believe, also refuse to submit to
Allah or gain His favor. They turn a deaf ear to His commands and prohi-
bitions. They have made it a principle to stay unfettered and not to grant
obedience to any authority: This is what leads them into disbelief. Alah
shows us this human characteristic in verse 36 of Surat al-Qiyama:
