Dinie,
I should have laughed in the first place. But anyway, lets forget about the joke ok? And back to business. 'Karut-marut' is often used in Malay world. Its kind of 'irrelevant & unscientific' accusations or suggestions. Its baseless.
OK. Harut (the Malays refer Harut as 'karut', simply means 'ridiculous') was one of two angels (the other one is Marut) sent to the city of Babylon. They were supposed to teach sorcery to the wicked, as a temptation and trial from Allah SWT, who commanded the two to warn people not to learn it from them.
One of the positions that need to be understood is that the two angels were sent down to teach men sorcery so that the difference between sorcery and inimitable prophetic miracles (like, mu'jizat) might be recognised, and people not be misled by sorcerers, of whom many existed long time ago and some claimed to be prophets. Allahu a'lam.
