Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Question:
Does sorcery transform the substance of things, for example, from soil to a plant? And are Harut and Marut creatures that exist now, or have they died?

Answer:
I told you that a sorcerer cannot change reality into something else; he cannot turn a human into an animal or an animal into a human. That is something only Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) can do. However, he can perform an illusion that deceives people, as I told you, making them think that a beetle becomes a sheep. It becomes a sheep from the flock; he brings a beetle or a cockroach and casts an illusion over it so it appears to be a sheep. He sells it to a person, takes the money, and leaves. When he leaves, the beetle returns to what it was, and the cockroach returns to what it was. This is possible in the realm of illusion, but in the realm of reality, no, no one can change the creation except Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
