lowed up what they had forged," as revealed in the verse:

We revealed to Moses: "Throw down your staff." And it im-
mediately 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, un-
less 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, especial-
ly 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. 50
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.
