Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Authenticity of the Quran Predictions in the Qur’an The Holy Qur’an predicted and foretold several events with total confidence and categorical details. Can we ascribe this precise knowledge of the future to the knowledge of Muhammad as a person living in the dark ages of Arabia? It is totally unrealistic to attempt to analyse these predictions from a purely materialistic point of view.

The only justified answer to the cause of the precise accuracy of the predictions is that it was revealed to (S) from the All-Knowledgeable Lord and the Master of the Universe, the past, present and future, Allah (swt).

Please ponder over the following splendid moments of the Qur’anic predictions: a) The Descendants of the Prophet (S) In Surah Kawthar, the Qur’an informs people that the descendants of Prophet will ultimately be numerous, this despite the fact that in his lifetime his enemies were hopeful that he would die without issue, since all the sons of the Prophet had died in infancy, and only one of his daughters survived. ** ** “To you We have granted abundance.

Therefore to Your Lord turn in prayers and sacrifice. For he who hated you, will be cut-off”. (Sura no. 108) * * Today, the descendants of the Prophet (Saadat and Ashraf) can be found everywhere, while the progeny of Abu Jahal and Abu Sufyan, the enemies of (S) have become extinct. Given this, was it possible for any other than God, that eternal reality and fixed pivot of truth, to predict that matters would unfold in a sense completely opposed to existing circumstances.

b) Defeat of Persian Empire In 615 AD, Khusru Parviz of Persia attacked Byzantium (Roman) empire and gained control of Syria, Palestine and North Africa. He ransacked Jerusalem, set fire to the Holy Sepulcher and destroyed numerous cities. The war ended in clear victory for fire-worshippers of Persia. News of the defeat of Byzantine worshippers of God was received with satisfaction by the idolaters of Mecca.

This was grievous to the Muslims and caused them much anxiety about the future course of the events. It was then that a revelation came foretelling the renewed triumph of the Byzantine over the Persians within few years. These are the relevant verses of Surat Ruum in the Qur’an: “The Romans have been defeated in a land nearby. But in the future they will triumph over their enemies, within a period of few years. All affairs, both earlier and later, are in the hands of God.
