THE MAGIC OF MODERN TIMES: PERCEPTION, IMAGE, MEDIA
🧠 THE MAGIC OF MODERN TIMES: PERCEPTION, IMAGE, MEDIA
🔍 Magic ≠ Supernatural Power
✨ Magic = The Art of Shaping Perception
In the Qur’an, magic refers to making people see what is not there, deceiving minds, and distorting reality. Today, the tools are more technological, but their function remains the same:
🧰 Tools of Modern Magic:
🎥 Television & Cinema → Reality and fiction intertwined. Perception management!
📱 Social Media → Filtered lives, fake happiness, the illusion of appearances.
📰 News Language & Propaganda → What is shown becomes “reality.”
🔠 Labeling & Word Games → “Fundamentalist,” “anti-vaxxer,” “terrorist”... the magic of labels.
🎮 Virtual Reality & Metaverse → Digital colonization of perception.
🎭 Deepfakes → Lies disguised as truth. Visual sorcery.
💰 Financial Magic → Hypnosis through consumption! Needs replaced by imposed desires.
📖 “The magicians bewitched people’s eyes and struck them with awe…” (Al-A‘rāf 7:116)
➡️ The same today: Enchantment through images, intimidation through information.
🗣️ MAGIC OF WORDS: WHO BLOWS INTO THE KNOTS?
📖 “From the evil of those who blow on knots...” (Al-Falaq 113:4)
This refers to mental entanglement—controlling minds through confusing and manipulative speech.
🎙️ Who are they?
-
Preachers in disguise, influencers with hidden agendas
-
Demagogic leaders with enchanting slogans
-
Peddlers of superstition, merchants of conspiracy
💭 Their method:
-
Confusing statements (knots)
-
Fear, suspicion, gossip (blowing)
-
Dependency: “You can’t know; we know.”
⚠️ “Recite this prayer, wear this talisman!”
⚠️ “Harness the energy of the universe!”
⚠️ “You don’t understand; let us guide you!”
➡️ All modern-day magicians!
🧬 THE QUR’AN: A MENTAL IMMUNE SYSTEM AGAINST MAGIC
The Qur’an exposes and dismantles magic, shielding the mind and heart.
It broke Pharaoh’s spell (Al-A‘rāf 7),
and with Al-Falaq and Al-Nās, it erects spiritual defenses.
The Qur’an’s Protective Shield:
📖 Gives True Knowledge → Detects perception manipulation.
💬 Speaks Clearly → No ambiguity or mystical confusion.
🧩 Exposes Superstition → Demands evidence, reason, and truth.
📌 “The plot of Satan is weak.” (An-Nisā’ 4:76)
But when the mind is defenseless, even a whisper can become chains.
🌟 FINAL MESSAGE: IN THE AGE OF THE QUR’AN, MAGIC IS BROKEN!
Magic still exists today—it just changed form:
🔮 Perception magic, 🧠 knowledge magic, 😨 fear magic…
🔓 The strongest antidote:
-
Authentic knowledge from the Qur’an
-
Reasoning and critical thinking
-
Tawhid (oneness of God) consciousness and mental vigilance
🧩 KEY QUESTIONS:
📺 Is television a medium or a magician?
🧕 Is the preacher a guide or a sorcerer?
