Prophecies That Have Been Fulfilled
O people, God's promise is the truth; therefore, do not be distracted by this lowly life. Do not be diverted from God by mere illusions. 35:5
A prophecy is foretold news about any future event. Prophecies within the Quran are considered the most authentic criterion and a vital proof that it is a divine source and the true word of God. The Quran contains many prophecies that have been fulfilled, including the following:
Every prophecy herein will come to pass, and you will surely find out. 6:67
The Preservation of Pharaoh's Body
While the Bible only narrates the drowning of Pharaoh, the Holy Quran confirms the drowning and ensures the preservation of his body, as a Sign to mankind:
We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a reality for him, he said, "I believe that there is no god except the One in whom the Children of Israel have believed; I am a submitter." Too late! For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a transgressor. Today, we will preserve your body, to set you up as a lesson for future generations. Unfortunately, many people are totally oblivious to our signs. 10:90-92
This is the body of Pharaoh Ramses II, the Egyptian King in the era of Prophet Moses. He was found by the Red Sea, in Jabalain, and is now on display in the Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (Video Here).
Although the story of Pharaoh's drowning and preservation of his body was revealed in the Quran 1400 years ago, Pharaoh's body was only found 111 years ago, in 1898.
The time it takes for a human body to completely deteriorate to bones is a maximum of 50 years, but Pharaoh's age is approximately 3000 years old.
Certainly Pharaoh was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds. 10:83
We recite to you herein some history of Moses and Pharaoh, truthfully, for the benefit of people who believe. 28:3
We have revealed to you clarifying revelations, and examples from the past generations, and an enlightenment for the righteous. 24:34
Noah's Ark
Noah was instructed to build the Ark for the believers, and those who ignored God's message were drowned in the flood.
We sent Noah to his people, saying, "I come to you as a clear warner." 11:25
The leaders who disbelieved among his people said, "We see that you are no more than a human being like us.. Indeed, we think you are liars." 11:27
"Build the ark under Our watchful eyes, and with Our inspiration, and do not implore Me on behalf of those who have transgressed; they are destined to drown." 11:37
When our judgment came, and the atmosphere boiled over, we said, "Carry on it a pair of each kind, together with your family, except those who are condemned. Carry with you those who have believed," and only a few have believed with him. 11:40
It was proclaimed: "O earth, swallow your water," and "O sky, cease." The water then subsided; the judgment was fulfilled. The ark finally rested on the hills of Judea. It was then proclaimed: "The transgressors have perished." 11:44
Mount Judi, according to very Early Christian and Islamic tradition, is Noah's apobaterion or "Place of Descent", the location where the Ark came to rest after the Great Flood.
In 1959, Turkish army captain Llhan Durupinar discovered an unusual shape while examining aerial photographs of his country. The smooth shape, larger than a football field, stood out from the rough and rocky terrain at an altitude of 6,300 feet near the Turkish border with Iran.
The remains of Noah's Ark have now been found on Mt Judi, Turkey as confirmed by scientists.
..When the people of Noah disbelieved the messengers, we drowned them, and we set them up as a sign for the people. We have prepared for the transgressors a painful retribution. 25:37
Fall and Rise of the Romans
The Romans have been defeated in the lowest of the lands. After their defeat, they will gain victory in a few years. The matter is up to God, both before and after. On that day, the believers shall rejoice in God's victory. He grants victory to whom He wills. He is the Dignified, the Merciful. 30:2-5
Apparently, there was not a remote chance of the fulfillments of the either prediction in the next few years. On the one hand, there were a handful of the Muslims, who were being beaten and tortured in Makkah, and even till eight years after this prediction there appeared no chance of their victory and domination.
In short, as the British historian Gibbon says, even seven to eight years after this prediction of the Quran, the conditions were such that no one could even imagine that the Byzantine Empire would ever gain an upper hand over Iran. Not to speak of gaining domination, no one could hope that the Empire, under the circumstances, would even survive. But surely the prophecy was fulfilled within ten years in 624 C.E. The accuracy of this unlikely prophecy clearly points to the Quran's Divine Revelation as the word of God.
If you work righteousness you work righteousness for your own good but if you commit evil you do so to your own detriment. Thus when the second time comes to pass they will defeat you and enter the masjid just as they did the first time. They will wipe out all the gains you had accomplished. 17:7
The Lowest of the Lands
The Romans have been defeated in the lowest of the lands. After their defeat, they will gain victory 30:3
The Byzantines (Eastern Roman Empire) and the Persians went to war in the years 613-614 C.E, with the Byzantines suffering a severe defeat at the hands of the Persians. The battle scene was the area around the Dead Sea.
A few years after the defeat of the Romans, a decisive battle took place in 627 C.E. between the two Empires, and this time, the Romans inflicted defeat on the Persians.
It is now known, with the aid of satellite images, that the area around the Dead Sea (located in the Great Rift Valley) has the lowest sea level altitude on earth. In fact, the lowest point on earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea, with an altitude of around 400 meters below sea level. The words 'lowest of the lands' in 30:3 reveal an accurate scientific fact many centuries before its discovery.
Tagging Livestock
"I will mislead them and i will entice them i will command them to marking the ears of livestock and i will command them to distort the creation of God." Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord instead of God has incurred a profound loss. 41:18
Ear tagging and ear marking are used to identify livestock. Animals containing GM micro-organisms or their containers must also be tagged or labelled so as to indicate that they have been genetically modified. Large animals, such as pigs, sheep, cattle etc., must be individually tagged (e.g. by microchip, tattoos, ear tags or ear notches).
This prophecy is yet another proof; this verse from the Quran warns us that those who alter the creation of God are being enticed by the devil.
The Preservation of the Quran
Indeed, it is We who brought down the Reminder, and We will surely preserve it. 15:9
The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book. Every element of the Quran is mathematically composed — the suras, the verses, the words, the number of certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many other elements of the Quran besides its content.
There are two major facets of the Quran's mathematical system:
(1) The mathematical literary composition, and
(2) The mathematical structure involving the numbers of suras and verses.
Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the slightest distortion of the Quran's text or physical arrangement is immediately exposed.
Falsehood does not touch it in the present or the future. It is a revelation from One who is Wise and Praiseworthy. 41:42
Dr. Rashad Khalifa discovered the mathematical component of the Quran in 1974. You can research his findings here.
The Creature
When the punishment is deserved by them we will produce for them a creature made of earthly materials declaring that the people are not certain about our revelations. 27:82
The Quran has predicted that at the right time God will produce a creature that will be instrumental in unveiling God's signs. This was fulfilled, the creature was the computer which was instrumental in unveiling the Quran's numerical code, and proclaiming that the world has neglected God's message.
The extensive mathematical structure of the Quran was revealed to Rashad Khalifa in the 19th century, 12 centuries after the Quran. It has become evidentially true, as majority of Muslims (Sunni and Shia) who uphold Hadiths, along with the disbelievers, have denied this overwhelming proof of divine authorship and instead decided to uphold fabrications.
Note that the digits that make up 27:82 add up to 19. As it happened, the computer was the tool to be used in counting all the thousands of figures and multiples of the miracle in the Quran.
Let us look at 27:82 and particularly at its mirror image of the Sura and verse numbers, the 27 becomes 72, and the 82 becomes 28. Verse 72:28 proclaims: "He (God) has counted the numbers of all things."
Bible Confirms the Coming of Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad's prophetic Name, "Ahmed", was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This coincides with verse 61:6 in the Quran:
And when Jesus, son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, I am the messenger of God to you, confirming what came before me of the Torah, and bringing good news of a messenger to come after me whose name is Ahmad." Yet when he brought them the clear proofs, they said, "This is clear magic." 61:6
The Ease of Memorizing the Quran
God has made the Quran easy to memorize: And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 54:17
The ease with which Quran is memorized is inimitable. There is not a single scripture or religious text in the world that is as easy to memorize; even non-Arabs and children commit it to memory easily. The entire Quran is memorized by almost every Islamic scholar and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Muslims, generation after generation. Almost every Muslim has some portion of the Quran memorized to read in his prayers.
We thus revealed it, an Arabic Quran, and we cited in it all kinds of prophecies, that they may be saved, or it may cause them to take heed. 20:113
Hadith after God’s Hadith
..Which hadith after it do they believe in? 7:185
In 7:185 God has prophesized the coming of the hadiths after the Quran that some will believe in and uphold.
These are God's revelations that We recite to you with truth, so in which hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe? 46:6
At the time the Quran was sent down, there were no hadiths other than God’s Hadith, the Quran. God brought down the best Hadith and there is no substitute for the Sunnah of God.
God has brought down the Best Hadith: a Book containing similarities and pairs.. 39:23
No blame falls upon the prophet concerning what God has decreed for him; the Sunna of God, as was decreed for those who passed away before. God's command is a pre-ordained decree. 33:38
Also note God deliberately used the words “Hadith” and Sunnah” before the falsifiers did with their satanic innovations that they ascribe to the prophet.
The Distortion of God’s Names
God informs us in the Quran that to Him belong the Beautiful Names. We also learn in verse 7:180 that there are those who distort His names!
To God belong the Beautiful Names, so call Him by them and keep away from those who distort His Names. They will be repaid for what they used to do. 7:180
Most Muslims today insist that God has 99 names, all based on a hadith that Prophet Muhammad allegedly said (Sahih Bukhari 50:894). However, when we analyze these names against the Quran, we find numerous names have been distorted and are not from God.
Since the hadiths were invented after the Quran was sent down, this is yet another proof that the Quran is the word of God and could not possibly be authored by humans!
The Decline in Forerunners
God informs us in Sura 56 that there will only be a small number of forerunners in the later generations who will attain the high ranks in Paradise.
And the forerunners, the forerunners; those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Bliss. A multitude of the earlier people, and a small number from the later ones. 56:10-14
Studies show belief in God is declining all around the world. In the US, church membership was stable between 1940-2000 and hovered around 70%, but fell rapidly to 47% by 2020. Between 2007 and 2020, the proportion of Americans not affiliated with any religion grew from 16% to 30%.
Technology and Artificial Intelligence may be to blame for the distraction of the remembrance of God. Regardless, it is all part of God’s Plan. God’s prophecy in verse 56:14 is evident in these times.
Peace & God Bless
