Quran contains prophecies about the future

Muslims believe that the Quran contains prophecies about the future, and that these prophecies can be understood through careful study and interpretation. Many of these prophecies relate to the end of times, and describe events that are believed to precede the Day of Judgment, when the world as we know it will come to an end.

Some of the prophecies about the end of times that are mentioned in the Quran include:

The appearance of the Antichrist or Dajjal, who is believed to be a false messiah who will deceive people with his miracles and try to establish himself as a ruler over the world.

"When the last hour comes, there will emerge a man from my family, or he said from among the Muslims, bearing the name of an Apostle of God, and his name will be my name. He will have a high nose and a ruddy face; and he will appear at a time of great division among the people and conflict among the tribes...he will claim, 'I am your lord.' Whoever sees him, let him read the opening verses of Surat al-Kahf against him." (Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, reported by Muslim)

The return of Jesus, or Isa, who is believed to return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist and establish justice and peace.

"And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in Jesus before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be against them a witness." (Quran 4:159)

The emergence of the Mahdi, who is believed to be a righteous leader who will appear before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and guide people towards the right path.

"Even if only a day remains for the world to come to an end, God will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with justice and equity just as it is filled with tyranny and oppression." (Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, reported by Abu Dawud)

The coming of the Gog and Magog, who are believed to be two tribes of people who will cause chaos and destruction in the world.

"And when the promise of my Lord comes, He will level it [i.e., the earth] and the promise of my Lord is ever true. And on that day We will leave them surging like waves on each other. And [the horn] will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly." (Quran 18:99-100)

Muslims believe that the prophecies about the end of times are meant to remind people of the fleeting nature of this world, and to encourage them to prepare for the afterlife. They are also seen as a reminder of the power and majesty of God, who has ultimate control over the destiny of the world.

It is important to note that the interpretation of these prophecies can vary among Muslims, and that there is much debate and discussion about their meaning and significance. Some Muslims believe that these prophecies are literal, while others interpret them more symbolically. Ultimately, the interpretation of these prophecies is a matter of personal belief and conviction.
