of what is happening.
The word athqal means
everything that is heavy
and the third verse, “And
the earth brings forth her
burdens,” also means
“the earth will throw up
its hidden treasures.” The
establishment of minerals,
coal, petroleum, uranium,
plutonium etc. has enabled
the production of modern
invention to take place.
This proves that 1400 years
ago, before all of the above
and many more metals
were discovered, it was
foretold in the Holy Qur’an
advancements would
come about.
{
Another
prophecy is
mentioned
in verse 21
of Surah
Ha Mim
Al-Sajdah:
“...and their
skins will
bear witness
against them as to what
they have been doing.”
(Ch.41: V.21)
at borders, criminal
investigation cells and
immigration centres,
that has proved to be
global scale, has proved the
prophecy. Who would
have known that such an
advanced use of technology
used in identifying people
worldwide through the
been prophesised in the
Holy Qur’an.
It has also been prophesised
in the Holy Qur’an that
plastic surgery, genetic
engineering and cloning
would take place in the
future. This prophecy
can be found in Surah Al-
Nisa, where it stated: “...
and they will alter Allah’s
creation...” (Ch.4: V.120). It
can be clearly understood
that “they” refers to human
beings, as it is impossible
for any creation in the world
other than human beings
that is able to alter Allah’s
“And He it is Who has
caused the to seas to
ow this palatable and
sweet and that saltish and
bier and beteen them
He has placed a barier
and a geat parition
creation, such as animals or
other living beings in the
universe. Therefore, without
a doubt, this prophecy has
easily witnessed especially
in the West, where cosmetic
surgery, cloning and other
methods of altering God’s
creation is on a rapid
increase.
Another prophecy that has
is the invention of cars,
trains and other modes of
modern transport. In verse 9
of Surah Al- Nahl, it reads:
“And He has created horses
and mules and asses that you
may ride them, and as a source
of beauty. And He will create
what you do not yet know.”
(Ch.16, V.9).
New modes of transport are
still being created whilst old
ones are constantly being
improved. Therefore, we
witness this prophecy being
Yet, who else during the
time of the Prophet saw could
have predicted this
In Surah Al-Dhariyat
it says: “And by the
}
heavens full

(Ch.51, V.8).
This relates
systems,
which is an
essential
part of
aviation. In
a time when no roads,
motorway systems
and bridges were
built, the prophecy
was revealed to the Holy
Prophet saw .
A prophecy that is
mentioned more than
once in the Qur’an is the
joining of the Suez with
the Mediterranean Ocean
and the Panama Canal
joined with the Atlantic and
