The Quran contains many predictions (prophecies) that were later fulfilled, proving its divine origin. Here are some of the most remarkable ones:
1. Victory of the Romans Over the Persians (Surah Ar-Rum 30:2-4)
The Prediction:
📖 "The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land. But after their defeat, they will overcome (the Persians) within a few years (بِضْعِ سِنِينَ - bid‘a sinīn)."
🔹 (Surah Ar-Rum 30:2-4)
Historical Context:
- In 614 CE, the Persians defeated the Romans and captured Jerusalem.
- The Romans were so weak that people thought they would never recover.
- The Quran, however, predicted that the Romans would win again within a few years (3-9 years).
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- In 622 CE (8 years later), the Romans, under Emperor Heraclius, began a counterattack.
- By 624-625 CE, they defeated the Persians and regained their lost territories.
- This happened exactly within the Quranic timeframe of "بِضْعِ سِنِينَ" (3-9 years).
👉 Astonishing Fact: No human in that era could have predicted this turnaround!
2. The Protection of the Quran (Surah Al-Hijr 15:9)
The Prediction:
📖 "Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption)."
🔹 (Surah Al-Hijr 15:9)
How It Came True:
- Over 1,400 years, the Quran has remained unchanged in its original Arabic text.
- Despite various attacks, no one has successfully altered it.
- Modern manuscript evidence (e.g., Sana’a Manuscripts) confirms that the Quran today is identical to the one revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
👉 Unlike previous scriptures, the Quran remains completely preserved, fulfilling the prophecy.
3. The Preservation of Pharaoh’s Body (Surah Yunus 10:92)
The Prediction:
📖 "Today, We will save your body so that you may be a sign for those who come after you."
🔹 (Surah Yunus 10:92)
Historical Context:
- The Pharaoh of Moses (Fir’awn) drowned while chasing Prophet Musa (Moses) and the Israelites.
- The Quran predicted that his body would be preserved as a sign for future generations.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- In the late 19th century, the mummified body of Pharaoh Merneptah (believed to be the Pharaoh of Moses) was discovered in Egypt.
- Today, it is displayed in the Cairo Museum.
- His preserved body remains a sign, as the Quran stated over 1,400 years ago.
👉 No one at that time knew that Egyptian mummification preserved bodies for thousands of years!
4. The Defeat of Abu Lahab (Surah Al-Masad 111:1-5)
The Prediction:
📖 "May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he! He will be burned in a fire of blazing flames..."
🔹 (Surah Al-Masad 111:1-5)
Historical Context:
- Abu Lahab, Prophet Muhammad's uncle, was one of Islam's greatest enemies.
- This Surah (chapter) was revealed about 10 years before he died.
- It predicted that he would never accept Islam and would die as a disbeliever.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- Despite living for 10 more years, Abu Lahab never accepted Islam.
- He died a horrible death due to a disease that made people avoid his body.
- If he had faked conversion to Islam, he could have disproved the Quran – but he never did!
👉 This was an open challenge, but he fulfilled the prophecy exactly as the Quran predicted.
5. The Spread of Islam (Surah An-Nur 24:55, Surah Al-Fath 48:28)
The Prediction:
📖 "Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds that He will certainly grant them succession (power) on earth."
🔹 (Surah An-Nur 24:55)
📖 "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it victorious over all religions, even if the disbelievers dislike it."
🔹 (Surah Al-Fath 48:28)
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- At the time of this revelation, Muslims were weak and oppressed in Makkah.
- However, Islam soon spread rapidly across the Arabian Peninsula, then to Africa, Asia, and Europe.
- Today, Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, fulfilling the Quran’s promise.
👉 A small group of persecuted Muslims grew into a global force, just as the Quran predicted.
6. The Conquest of Makkah (Surah Al-Fath 48:27)
The Prediction:
📖 "Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Ka'bah) in security, if Allah wills..."
🔹 (Surah Al-Fath 48:27)
Historical Context:
- When this verse was revealed, the Muslims were still weak and had just faced the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
- Makkah was under the control of Quraysh, and Muslims were not allowed to enter.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- Just two years later in 630 CE, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions peacefully entered Makkah and took control of the Ka'bah.
- This fulfilled the Quran’s prophecy exactly.
👉 The Quran accurately predicted an event that seemed impossible at the time!
