Allàh says:
" ... and it was not meet for an apostle that he should bring a sign except with Allàh's permission; but when the command of Allàh came, judgement was given with truth, and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost." (40:78).
The verse shows that it was the apostle who brought the sign - by permission of Allàh. The souls of the prophets were given a special power to cause the miracle; and that causal power, like all other causes, created its effect with permission of Allàh. Again Allàh says:
"And they followed what the Satans chant (of sorcery) against the kingdom of Sulaymàn; and not that Sulaymàn disbelieved, but (it was) the Satans that disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and what was sent down to the two angels at Babylon, Hàrùt and Màrùt, Yet these two taught no one until they had said, "Surely we are only a trials therefore do not be a disbeliever. Even then men learned from these two that by which they might cause a separation between a man and his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allàh 's permission." (2:102).
This verse proves two things: magic has some reality; and it, not unlike miracle, is caused by a psychical factor of the magician, by permission of Allàh.
Take a miracle, a magic, a mysterious wonder of a saint, or a spellbringing skill acquired through rigorous practice - all these extra-ordinary or super-natural deeds emanate from their agents' psychical factors - or will-power - as the above-mentioned verses have shown. But Allàh has made it clear that the psychical cause found in His apostles, prophets and believers is predominant, has the mastery, over all other causes, in all imaginable conditions; it can never be overpowered. Allâh says:
"And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles: Most surely they shah be the assisted ones, and most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones." (37:171-173)
"Allàh has written down: I will most certainly prevail, I and My apostle..." (58:21)
"Most surely We help Our apostles and those who believe, in this world 's life and on the day when the witnesses shall stand." (40:).
As you see, these verses do noput any condition or restriction on the promised victory; the apostles and the believers shall be victorious over their adversaries in all conditions and situations. It may be inferred from it that this divine source is something metaphysical, preternatural. Material things are, in their nature, measured and limited; they get the worst of it if they are faced by another thing which is superior in power. But this preternatural spiritual source, which is assisted by the will of Allàh, is never defeated by any factor; whenever it is faced by any material adversary, it is given by Allàh a far more superior power to achieve victory with flying colours.
