JANNAH:
The Garden from
the Qur’an and Hadith

However, his evidence broke the spell, or "swallowed up what they had
forged," as revealed in the verse:

We revealed to Moses: "Throw down your staff." And it immediate-
ly swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took place and
what they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A'raf, 117-118)
As we can see, when people realized that a spell had been cast upon
them and that what they saw was just an illusion, Pharaoh's magicians lost
all credibility. In the present day too, unless those who, under the influence

of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims under their scientific
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 hy-
pothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has. 21
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.
