To my honoured guests, I'd like to share with you some revealed Divine Knowledge contained in the Quran that has something to do with world history.
The translations of verses 1-5 in Surah Ar-Rūm on the website "Iqra Search" are as follows:
The title of today's featured article in Wikipedia is "Roman-Persian Wars", and it reminds me of one of the surahs (chapters) in the Quran titled Ar-Rūm (The Romans). (The Arabic word "Ar-Rūm" is pronounced "Ar-Room".)
I visited the website "Islam Guide" and studied the following information:
The Verses in the Quran That Mention Future Events Which Later Came to Pass
One example of the events foretold in the Quran is the victory of the Romans over the Persians within three to nine years after the Romans were defeated by the Persians. Allah has said in the Quran:
The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land (to the Arabian Peninsula), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious within bedd’ (three to nine) years.... (Quran, 30:2-4)
Let us see what history tells us about these wars. A book entitled History of the Byzantine State says that the Roman army was badly defeated at Antioch in 613, and as a result, the Persians swiftly pushed forward on all fronts. At that time, it was hard to imagine that the Romans would defeat the Persians, but the Quran foretold that the Romans would be victorious within three to nine years. In 622, nine years after the Romans’ defeat, the two forces (Romans and Persians) met on Armenian soil, and the result was the decisive victory of the Romans over the Persians, for the first time after the Romans’ defeat in 613. The prophecy was fulfilled just as Allah has said in the Quran.
There are also many other verses in the Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad that mention future events which later came to pass.
