Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an




                   As we have seen, Pharaoh's magicians were able to deceive eve-
               ryone, apart from Musa (as) and those who believed in him. However,
               his evidence broke the spell, or "swallowed up what they had forged,"

               as the verse puts it.
                   We revealed to Musa, "Throw down your staff." And it immediately
                   swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took place and what
                   they did was shown to be false. (Qur'an, 7: 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 also stated this:
                   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. 323
                   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."

                                         (Qur'an, 2:32)
