The Qur'an contains numerous prophecies, revealed during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), that were later fulfilled, attesting to its divine origin:

• Victory of the Romans: The Qur'an predicted the Romans’ defeat by the Persians and their subsequent victory within a few years (Quran 30:2-4), which occurred as prophesied.
  • “The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. To Allah is the decision, first and last. And that day the believers will rejoice.” (Quran 30:2-4)
• Preservation of the Qur'an: Allah promised the Qur'an’s preservation, and it has remained unchanged for over 1,400 years (Quran 15:9).
  • “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.” (Quran 15:9)
• Defeat of the Quraysh: The Qur'an foretold the Quraysh’s eventual defeat, fulfilled at the Battle of Badr (Quran 48:1).

The revelations that took place in Madinah provided a foundation for a society based on the principles of social justice, economic fairness, and cooperation. The proven prophecies within the Qur'an, such as the victory of the Romans and the preservation of the Qur'an itself, affirm its divine nature. Through its remarkable preservation and accurate prophecies, the Qur'an continues to serve as a timeless guide for humanity, offering wisdom and direction for every aspect of life.

The Madinah revelations focused on:

• Social Justice: The Qur'an established revolutionary rights for women and orphans, granting them protection and fairness in marriage, inheritance, and property rights.
  • “And give to the orphans their property and do not exchange the bad for the good. And do not consume their property into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin.” (Quran 4:2)
• Economic Justice: The Qur'an condemned exploitation, prohibited usury, and emphasized the fair distribution of wealth through zakat (charity) to ensure no one was left behind.
  • “O you who have believed, do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].” (Quran 2:188)
• Cooperation and Solidarity: Believers were called to work together in righteousness, helping those in need and fostering a unified, moral community.
  • “And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.” (Quran 5:2)

In conclusion, the Qur'an stands as a testament to it being the verbatim word of Allah, not only through its unmatched spiritual guidance but also through its proven prophecies that have come to pass throughout history. These fulfilled prophecies, such as the victory of the Romans, the preservation of the Qur'an, and the eventual spread of Islam, further solidify the Qur'an’s authenticity. Alongside these divine predictions, the Madinah revelations laid the groundwork for a just and equitable society, addressing key issues of social justice, economic fairness, and cooperation. Through these teachings and the fulfillment of its prophecies, the Qur'an continues to be a guiding light for humanity, providing wisdom and direction for every aspect of life, both spiritual and societal.
