These are numerous but we will see the following
examples.
1 -
The prophecy about the victory of the Romans:
The
Almighty Allah, subhanahu wa ta`ala, says:
"The Romans have been defeated. In the
nearest land [Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine],
and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.
Within three to nine years. The decision of the
matter, before and after [these events] is only
Allah's [before the defeat of the Romans by the
Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by
the Romans]..." [Qur'an, 30:2-4]
Seven years later this prophecy became true, and the
Romans defeated the Persians.

Prophecy that both al Waleed ibn al Mugheerah and
Abu Lahab would die as disbelievers
The
Almighty Allah, subhanahu wa ta`ala, says about al
Waleed:
"Leave Me alone [to deal] with whom I
created lonely [without any wealth or children, i.e.
Al Walid ibn Al Mughirah al Makhzumi]. And then
granted him resources in abundance. And children to
be by his side. And made life smooth and comfortable
for him. After all that he desires that I should
give more; Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our
Ayat [proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations]. I shall oblige him to [climb a
slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa`ud,
or] face a severe torment! Verily, he thought and
plotted. So let him be cursed: how he plotted! And
once more let him be cursed: how he plotted! Then he
thought. Then he frowned and he looked in a bad
tempered way; then he turned back, and was proud.
Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that
of old. This is nothing but the word of a human
being!" I will cast him into Hell-fire. And what
will make you know [exactly] what Hell-fire is? It
spares not [any sinner], nor does it leave [anything
unburned]!" [Qur'an 74:11-18]
And
about Abu Lahab, He, subhanahu wa ta`ala, says:
"Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab [an uncle
of the Prophet] and perish he! His wealth and his
children will not benefit him! He will be burnt in a
Fire of blazing flames!" [Qur'an, 111:1-3]
3 -
His prophecy of coming back to Makkah which he left
for Madinah. The Almighty Allah, `azza wa jall,
says:
"Verily, He Who has given you [O Muhammad]
the Qur'an [i.e. ordered you to act on its laws and
to preach it to others] will surely bring you back
to Ma`ad [place of return, either to Makkah or to
Paradise after your death]..." [Qur'an 28:85]
And
the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam returned
to Makkah in the year of the conquest.
4 -
The prophecy telling that the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi
wa sallam, and the Muslims would enter Makkah in
security:
"...Certainly, you shall enter Al Masjid al
Haram, if Allah wills, secure, [some] having your
heads shaved, and [some] having your head hair cut
short, having no fear..." [Qur'an, 48:27]
This prophecy became true and the Muslims conquered
Makkah and entered al Masjid al Haram in complete
security.
5 -
The Prophecy about granting the Muslims succession
and authority.
The
Almighty Allah says:
"Allah has promised those among you who
believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will
certainly grant them succession to [the present
rulers] in the land, as He granted it to those
before them, and that He will grant them the
authority to practice their religion which He has
chosen for them [i.e. Islam]. And He will surely
give them in exchange a safe security after their
fear [provided] they [believers] worship Me and do
not associate anything [in worship] with Me." [Qur'an,
24:55]
The
Almighty Allah, subhanahu wa ta`ala, has fulfilled
His promise to the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu `alaihi
wa sallam and his nation. He made them successors of
great kings and powerful rulers, whose lands and
properties were inherited by the Muslims.
