Prophecy in Islam
I'm curious to know what prophecies are contained in the Qu' ran, and which prophecies are thought to have been fulfilled. We've all heard of the various Biblical prophecies that Christians use to support the Bible's inspired nature. But does Islam (a heathen religion) use prophecies to support the Qu'ran?
Just curious |

Well since I haven't read the Quran myself, but my mom told me before that somewhere in the Quran they talk about signs of when the world is gonna end, and there are small signs and bigger signs and one of the small signs was society's acceptance of homosexuality, and I think another sign was famine in different parts of the world.
***BUT note, I never read this, and it's just what I was told before. I'm not sure if it is true...and I personally dont really believe it. I'm not sure of any prophecies tho...But I'm guessing since all religious books are open to interpretation, things make sense only after the fact! hopefully someone with more knowledge can tell us more about this |
