Non muslims, how could the Prophet Muhammad tell the future?

Question

God says in the bible that you know if a prophet is fake if what he says doesnt happen. EVERYTHING that the Prophet Muhammad said would happen did happen.

eg.
He told a companion that he would go blind before he died
He told a companion the land that he would die
He said exactly how many years of the Caliphate there would be after him, and that Abu Bakr would rule for a short time. (he ruled for 2 years)

There are several other examples. would a fake prophet dare make so many predictions? this is not mention those in the qur'an (if you believe he wrote it)

eg. (qur'an)
"The Romans have been defeated, In the nearer land, and they, after their defeat will be victorious, Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice"
(this is exactly what happened. Ask someone who has studied ancient history how remarkable this prediction is. it is like if someone said in 1945 that the nazis would be victorious)

the Romans had just suffered a very heavy defeat and victory looked impossible. Would someone dare make such a prediction, knowing that if he was wrong it would expose him as fake?

Answer 1

Prophet Mohammed ( pbuh) was informed by God that the last revelation will not be accepted by non muslims, and Islam will have a lot of enemies. And the truth- Holy Quran- will not be accepted by disbelievers..
So this is one more evidence of what is going on nowadays..

May Allah Bless you

Answer 2

so what if muhammad made some predictions here and there, the ancient Indians and ancient Chinese could predict a whole person's future just by calculating the person's birthdate. So does that make many many saints, prophets or sons of gods? If muhammad was so great why did he not predict that in this time his teachings have been able to be used by terrorists to kill many many innocent people and stop his followers from becoming cowardly terrorists!!
Bull Crap!! Is what I say.

Answer 3

There are also prophecies about our time, check this:

The Prophet mentioned that there would be signs forewarning the approach of the last day. Among those that have clearly come to pass are:

The barefooted bedouins competing in building tall buildings. Today we find in the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabs who used to be impoverished herders of camels and sheep, are competing in building the tallest tower blocks.

The Mosques would be like palaces. This is clearly the case, even though the Prophet ordered simplicity in the houses of Allah, the mosques have become more and more fantastic, with golden domes, marbled floors, lavish carpets and chandeliers.

Disappearance of trustworthiness, so much so that one would only be able to say: "I know a trustworthy person in such-and-such town."

The increase in killing, so that the one who kills does not know why he killed, and the one killed does not know why he was killed. I was recently sent an article from the Washington Post about the rise of gang warfare. Part of the initiation ceremony was for a new gang member(some times as young as eleven) to shoot someone. The second highest cause of death from fifteen to thirty five in the US are gun related. The massacre of civilians in the Vietnam War by American troops who had little idea why they were there, and the increase of such conflicts, is further illustration of the fulfillment of this prophecy. As are the rise of insane mass murders, of children killing children, such as Jamie Bulger.

The increase of the use of riba (usury/interest) so that no one will able to escape being tainted by it. This clearly the state of the world economy today.

The enemies of the Muslims dividing the Muslim's wealth and lands between them, the Muslims abandoning jihad, and concerning themselves only with the worldly matters. We have already mentioned this.

The increase of literacy.

The decrease of religious knowledge due to the disappearance of scholars.

The increase of musical instruments, and the Muslims making it lawful even though the Prophet has forbidden them.

The increase of sexual promiscuity, and new diseases that people had not herd of before spreading amongst them as a consequence of that. This is clear, with the arrival of AIDS, and other previously unheard of viruses.

Appearance of Dajjals (liars), each claiming to be a Messenger of Allah, while Muhammad is the last messenger. There are numerous examples of this, starting with Musailima, who arose in the time of the Prophet, just before his death, to more modern liars such as Elija Muhammad, founder of the Black American racist movement "The Nation of Islam", and India's pretender Gulam Ahmed of Qadian.

Nakedness of women while still being dressed.

The drinking of wine becoming common, and the Muslims making it lawful by calling it another name.

Shouting in the mosques.

The worst and most ignorant will become leaders and they will be oppressors.

A man will obey his wife and disobey his mother, and treat his friends kindly and shun his father.

Men will wear silk and gold, and the making of it lawful by the Muslims even though the Prophet had forbidden it for the men of his 'Ummah (nation).

People will abandon the religion for a small worldly gain, and keeping to the religion will be like holding two hot coals.

So these are just some of the numerous prophecies of Muhammad, that have clearly come true, and some have been fulfilled in this age in which we live, all adding weight to the evidence in favour of his claim.

The Qur'an also provides accurate knowledge of the past. This is also information which Muhammad was unable to receive except from Allah. Some examples of this are:

The Qur'an mentions about the ark of Noah: "The Ark came to rest upon Mount Judi" (11:44). Recent archeological research has discovered a boat shaped object with exactly the same dimensions as those of the Ark on Mount Judi. The Bible claims that the Ark came to rest twenty miles away on the Mountains of Ararat. This is not possible, since these mountains are a recent geological formation, and did not exist at the time of Noah. The Qur'an also refers to the flood as a localised event, destroying only Noah's people. The dates and time offered by the Bible for the flood, and its claim that it was a world wide cataclysm, has been proven false by all archeological evidence.

The Qur'an describes the ruler of Egypt being addressed as "King" in the time of Joseph, whilst Moses addresses the ruler as "Pharaoh". This is a small but telling accuracy, for in the time of Joseph the rulers were from the Hykos Dynasty, and were Semites. They did not refer to themselves as "Pharaohs". The term was used by the native Egyptian dynasties that supplanted the Hykos, in the time of Moses. The Bible again proves inaccurate on this point referring to both as "Pharaoh". The Qur'an also correctly describes aspects of the ancient Egyptian religion, in particular the worship of Pharaoh as a god.

The Qur'an refers to the early followers of Jesus as "Nazarenes". This is historically accurate. The word "Christian" was actually a nick name used by the Romans sometime after Jesus - Acts 11:26 "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch."

The Qur'an makes reference to a city Iram, which Allah destroyed for its evil doings. Until recently there was no record of this city, and it was believed to be only a legend. In 1973, in North-Western Syria, the 4300 year old city of Ebla was excavated. On the cuneiform clay tablets, a record was found of all the cities with who they used to do business. Among them was Iram.

How and from where did Muhammed gather this information? If, as some claim, he took it from the Bible, how did he manage to correct the Bible's mistakes?

Answer 4

We shall never know. I believe that he probably predicted several things, although only the true predictions were put into the Quran.

Answer 5

He couldn't
The Quran, like the Bible was rewritten and redacted to agree with historical events after the fact.

Allah...like God, is imaginary
Prayer to either Muslim or Christian, is superstition
Christians and Muslims alike worship equally non-existent gods

Answer 6

ALLAH ho AKBAR (ALLAH is great) QURAN is open chellenge to everyone ALLAH says that if anyone who proves QURAN then his religion is the correct one his GOD is the real one so GUS prove QURAN if u can and remmber its the word of GOD

Answer 7

Ah But all of this Was Writen Down After it "Happend"

Why is it so hard to believe that Ppl could LIE thousands of years ago....................

Answer 8

If your really using those prophecies as something to hold as a high standard it is no wonder Islam is a backward religion.

Answer 9
