Quran and Magic

Even if We had sent down a Book on parchment, and they touched it with their own hands, the disbelievers would still say, “This is nothing but sorcery.”

6:7Had we sent down unto thee (Muhammad) (actual) writing upon parchment, so that they could feel it with their hands, those who disbelieve would have said: This is naught else than mere magic.

Is it surprising to people that We sent revelation to a man among them, saying, “Warn humanity and give good news to the believers that they stand firm with their Lord”? Yet the disbelievers say, “This is clearly sorcery.”

10:2Is it a wonder for mankind that We have inspired a man among them, saying: Warn mankind and bring unto those who believe the good tidings that they have a sure footing with their Lord? The disbelievers say: Lo! this is a mere wizard.

Yet if you say, “You will be resurrected after death,” the disbelievers will say, “This is nothing but sorcery.”

11:7And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was upon the water - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. Yet if thou (O Muhammad) sayest: Lo! ye will be raised again after death! those who disbelieve will surely say: This is naught but mere magic.

We know best what they listen to when they secretly conspire, the wrongdoers say, “You follow only a bewitched man.”

17:47We are Best Aware of what they wish to hear when they give ear to thee and when they take secret counsel, when the evil-doers say: Ye follow but a man bewitched.

Yet if they see a sign, they turn away and say, “Continuous magic.”

54:2And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.

Even if We opened for them a gateway to the heavens, allowing them to ascend continuously

15:14And even if We opened unto them a gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it,

They would still say, “Our eyes are hallucinating; we are bewitched.”

15:15They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched.

Likewise, no messenger came to those before them but they said, “A sorcerer or a madman.”

51:52Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

And the disbelievers say of the truth when it comes to them, “This is nothing but obvious magic.”

34:43And if Our revelations are recited unto them in plain terms, they say: This is naught else than a man who would turn you away from what your fathers used to worship; and they say: This is naught else than an invented lie. Those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reacheth them: This is naught else than mere magic.

37:14And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

37:15And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

38:4And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.

43:30And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.

46:7And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say of the Truth when it reacheth them: This is mere magic.

74:24And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

The Day they are shoved into the Fire of Hell with force:

52:13The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell

“This is the Fire you used to deny.

52:14(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.

Is this magic? Or do you still not see?

52:15Is this magic, or do ye not see?
