==FULFILLED PROPHECIES OF THE HOLY QURAN.... Holy Muhammad (Peace be upon him) didn't copy from the Bible and paste in the Quran... The Bible has mentioned the test to check the prophecies.... In modern era atheists put the religions on trial by presenting criteria to check the genuine-ness or otherwise of the prophecies mentioned in the religious scriptures... Mr. Douglas E.

=Prophecy is foretold news about any future event. In religious world,
a prophecy, quite distinct from an educated and wise guess, is
considered the most authentic criterion and a vital proof for the
truthfulness or otherwise of a prophet.
The Bible has also mentioned this test and claims that the prophecies
mentioned in it shall be definitely fulfilled.
"I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another
or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place, and
new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to
you." (Isaiah 42:8-9)
"I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen
you will believe that I am He." (John 13:19)
=In modern era atheists put the religions on trial by presenting
criteria to check the genuine-ness or otherwise of the prophecies
mentioned in the religious scriptures. Mr. Douglas E. Krueger, an
atheist, on Pages 96-98 of his book, "WHAT IS ATHEISM - A Short
Introduction" has presented the following five criteria to judge a
prophecy. He wrote:
"Some criteria are needed in order to distinguish cases of lucky
guesses from those of true prophecy. Let us define a genuine prophecy
as one that satisfies the following five criteria:
1-The prophecy must be clear, and it must contain sufficient detail to
make its fulfillment by a wide variety of possible events unlikely.
2-The event that can fulfill the prophecy must be unusual or unique.
3-The prophecy must be known to have been made before the event that
is supposed to be its fulfillment.
4-The event foretold must not be of the sort that could be the result
of an educated guess.
5-The event that fulfills the prophecy cannot be staged, or the
relevant circumstances manipulated, by those aware of the prophecy in
such a way as to intentionally cause the prophecy to be fulfilled."
=According to these criteria, we see that the Quranic prophecies, some
of which are presented here, prove to be quite genuine and true. No
one can ever imagine that an unlettered person living in a nomadic
society of Arabia 1400 years ago can predict such amazing scientific
events, as mentioned hereunder, to happen. It is very well beyond the
human capacity to foretell or even visualize such incredible
incidents. The only conceivable source of these prophecies and
predictions is purely divine. Interestingly, all such prophecies are
fulfilled by those who were not Muslims, rather many of them are
atheists. Thus no question of staging the prophecy and manipulating
the circumstances arises.
FINGER PRINTS
"Their skins will bear witness against them as to what they have been
doing" (41:21)
The finger prints system at borders, criminal investigation cells and
immigration centres prove the fulfillment of this Quranic prophecy.
POLLUTION
"Corruption has spread on land and sea because of what men's hands
have wrought" (30:42)
One of the interpretations of the above verse of the Holy Quran is the
environmental pollution, caused by human being. And that is spread
both in land and sea due to our own inventions, i.e., fumes from
chimneys of factories, chemical and nuclear waste, huge traffic in the
cities, noise and creation of ozone hole are manifest testimonies of
the fulfillment of this prophecy.
ESTABLISHMENT OF ISRAEL
And after him We said to the Children of Israel, 'Dwell Ye in the
promised land; and when the time of the promise of the Latter Days
come, We shall bring you together out of various people." (17:105)
Creation of Israel and gathering of Sephardic, Ashkenazi and the Jews
of many other different races in Israel proves the authenticity of
this prophecy and hence Quran.
GENETIC ENGINEERING
"They will alter Allah's creation." (4:120)
The holy Quran has prophesied the plastic surgery, genetic engineering
and cloning in this short and concise sentence.
ROADS IN MOUNTAINS
"And when the mountains are made to move." (81:4)
Centuries before the invention of dynamite, the holy Quran prophesied
the blowing up and moving of the mountains.
NEW TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
"And when the she-camels, ten months pregnant are abandoned." (81:5)
"And He has created horses and mules and asses that you may ride them,
and as a source of beauty. And He will create what you do not yet
know." (16:9)
As we know people, specially those living in deserts, have now
abandoned camels and other animals for travelling. But this prophecy
of invention and emergence of new transport systems is on-going as we
witness new and faster modes of transportation emerging all the time.
ZOO
"And when the wild beasts are gathered together." (81:6)
Nobody could ever imagine that one day wild beasts shall be captured,
tamed and put together in closed and open parks. The establishment of
zoo have fulfilled this prophecy.
OCCEANS LINKED
"And when the rivers are made to flow into each other." (81:7)
"He has made the two bodies of water flow. They will one day meet.
Between them there is a barrier; they cannot encroach one upon the
other." (55:20,21)
"And He it is Who shall merge the two seas together. This palatable
and sweet, that saltish and bitter. And between them He has
(presently) placed a barrier and a massive partition." (25:54)
This phenomenal prophecy is an excellent proof of truthfulness of
Quran. It was beyond imagination of any one living 1400 years ago to
even think of linking of oceans which we see today in Panama and Suez
canals.
MODERN COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
"And when various people are brought together." (81:8)
Fast transport systems, telephone, satellite systems and internet have
brought so close to each other proving the truthfulness of the holy
Quran.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
"And when the female-infant buried alive is questioned about - For
what crime was she killed." (81-9,10)
Modern-day women rights and liberation associations may be brain-child
of freedom-loving and egalitarian humanist / feminist people but
foretold by Quran centuries ago.
BOOKS PUBLISHED AND SPREAD
"And when books are spread abroad." (81:11)
The invention of printing press and publication houses and
consequently spread of books every where is one of the marvellous
prophecies of the Quran made in the dark ages of ignorance and
illiteracy.
EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL LIFE
"And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has
the power to gather them together whenever He pleases." (42:30)
Having discourse with aliens is still an unrealized dream, but science
is progressing in that direction. The presence of extra-terrestrial
life has been proved by scientists. The next step is to see them and
making a link with them. No religious scripture, except Quran, even
hints about this great scientific discovery.
AIR TRAFFIC SYSTEM
"And by the heaven full of tracks" (51:8)
While prophesying about modern transport systems, Quran also foretold
the air-traffic system which is an essential part of aviation. A
person living in desert 1400 years ago cannot talk about such advance
technologies unless revealed to him by God Almighty.
AIDS
"It never happens that permissiveness overwhelms a people to the
extent that they display their acts of sex shamelessly and they are
not uniquely punished by God. Among them, invariably, pestilence is
made to spread and such other diseases, the like of which have never
been witnessed by their forefathers." (Ibn-e-Majah, Kitab-ul-Fitan)*
see footnote
You need at least a doctor of medicine and an expert of social
behaviour at the same time to talk about such behaviours and their
fatal consequence. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was neither of them,
but a Prophet of God who didn't copy from the Bible and paste in the
Quran and foretell the same fate of perverts of Sodom and Gomorrah for
the future perverts, but a unique disease never heard or known by
earlier people, AIDS! The medical scientists are unanimous that this
disease is never recorded in the annals of history.
________________________________________
*. Hadith alongwith Sunnah is the secondary source of Islamic Sharia
consisted of the deeds and sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace
and Blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny). The Holy Quran
emphatically describes the position and status of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) as an ideal and best exampler (33:22) and not a mere
post man who just delivers the message. The Muslims are enjoined to
follow the way of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Allah says, "And whatever
the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you,
abstain from that."(59:8). The holy Quran states that his assertions
are not based upon his own desires but on the revelations from God.
(53:4,5)
In the light of these Quranic injunctions, the deeds and sayings of
the Holy Prophet (pbuh) the prophecies mentioned in Hadith are also
very important and proves the truthfulness of the person upon whom
this Holy Book (Quran) was revealed. There are many prophecies of the
Holy Prophet (pbuh) which have been fulfilled during the past
centuries. We are mentioning here only one of his prophecies which has
been fulfilled in the modern times.
