77. 1. Hazrat Musa (علیہ السلام) said, just think for a moment, you call the call to truth and the right word magic, is this magic? Magicians are never successful. That is, in achieving the desired objectives and avoiding undesirable outcomes, they always fail, and I am the messenger of Allah, I have the help of Allah and I have been granted miracles and clear signs from Him. Why would I need magic or sorcery? And what status does it have compared to the miracles granted by Allah?
