Allah Almighty addresses these polytheists and asks: You call your Prophet sometimes a sorcerer and sometimes one who is bewitched, but in reality, it is not the Prophet who is bewitched, rather, you yourselves are under a spell. You deny a truth that you yourselves acknowledge. What you consider to be reality is nothing but your false beliefs. Despite acknowledging the truth, the truth remains hidden from you. What kind of magic has overtaken you?
