In the Decisive Battle Between Truth and Falsehood, Truth Certainly Receives Divine Support:
When the magicians had displayed their tricks and the ropes and staffs they threw appeared to the people as if they were moving and writhing like snakes, and all the spectators became both frightened and impressed by them, at that moment Musa (Moses) ؑ said that what you have presented is indeed magic, and what I am presenting is not magic but a miracle granted by Allah, which will bring an end to all your tricks. The reason is that it is against Allah’s custom and wisdom that when a battle between truth and falsehood arises, and corrupters stand against a reformer, and the purpose is to establish proof, Allah would let the word of the corrupters prevail and the word of truth be subdued and overcome. Rather, in such situations, Allah helps the truth and makes the truth manifest as truth before all people.
