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. God 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.1 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 613.2 The prophecy was fulfilled just as God 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

How many examples you need from the Bible.

The Jewish people would be scattered worldwide; yet Israel would become a nation again after a long time and at a time the Bible calls the “latter days”-ref Isa 66:8; Mic 5:3; Ezek 38:8. Against what appeared to be impossible odds, this prophecy has been fulfilled. It happened as predicted on May 14, 1948 after about 2500 years.
Note: Israel was destroyed in approximately 721 B.C. and Judah about 135 years later. Since that time, approximately fourteen different peoples have possessed the land of Israel. Yet as the Bible said, the nation of Israel would be reborn.
There would be weapons that could destroy the world-Mk 13:20; Rev 6:8; Rev 9:18; Zech 14:8,12. Incredibly, this prophecy was written in the days of spears and arrows, yet today it is true.
Note: It is estimated that the combined nuclear arsenals of the USA and Russia (as of the year 2004) could kill every living thing on earth 6 times over.
The Gospel must be published in all the world-Mk 13:10. This seemingly impossible prophecy was written when there was no printing press, but today it is true.
Note: In this last generation, to our knowledge, the Gospel is being published (or is about to be published) in the primary language of every nation of the world or “among all nations.” In addition, the Gospel is available by short-wave radio nearly everywhere in the world.
In the “latter days” when Israel was once again a nation, there would be a great military power to the extreme north of Israel in the land of Magog (which is modern-day Russia)-Ezek 38:2-4,8,15,16.
Note: How could the Bible have foretold the location of this nation, facts about its military, and even the time period it would come to pass? As was already said in Lk 24:25-O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN.
There would be a nation to the far east of Israel, to the end of the earth. This nation would have an army of 200 million. This is astounding. How could the Bible have told the location of a nation and given such a huge figure regarding the size of its army nearly 2000 years ago? China has boasted that they could field an army of this exact figure.
There would be an economic alliance of the nations of the Old Roman Empire. It would have a military capability. This is an exact description of the European Economic Community today (the EEC), which has already adopted the one-currency system for many of their member nations. It is written, IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these nations, which is now) SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM-Dan 2:44.

In Christ,

Frankly, it was impossible for such a “prophesy” to not be fulfilled.
Let’s look at it again:

“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)”

So, all that was necessary was for the Romans to win a battle against any enemy, at any location, within three to nine years. Was there ever a year in the history of the Roman Empire when they didn’t win at least one battle? No. Frankly this “prophesy” ranks right up there with prophesying that it will rain in Utah within the next 6 months…hardly a prognostication with any risk at all.

Yeah… it does appear to be a rather “possible” statement.

How do we know exactly WHEN this prophecy was proclaimed? I mean, the material in the Qu’ran is not in chronological order. Can we be sure it refers to the specific battle you mentioned (in which the Romans lost?) In that case, it almost seems like we are unsure about the battle in question, let alone the prophecy of Roman revenge. A little help would be appreciated.

Were there any Roman armies or empires in the Seventh Century and later?

The Roman Empire in Rome ended in 476 A.D.

There was a Byzantine Empire in Constantinople. Is that what you are referring to?

The Holy Roman Empire was begun under Charlemagne about the year 800. Other than with the Crusades which didn’t begin until the Eleventh Century, the HRE did not meddle in the Middle East.

… Yeah, it was the Byzantines (who never referred to themselves as Byzantines… only Romans.) Centuries after Constantinople’s fall, historians began to refer to the remant of the Roman Empire after Justinian as the “Byzantine Empire.”
