4.5 Utabiri Kuhusu Wakati Ujao
4.5 Predictions About The Future
Qur'ani ilitabiri kwa usahihi ushindi wa kijeshi wa Warumi (Wabyzantine) dhidi ya Waajemi.
The Qur’aan accurately predicted the military victory of the Romans (Byzantines) over the Persians:
Warumi wameshindwa katika ardhi iliyo karibu zaidi; na baada ya kushindwa kwao, watashinda ndani ya miaka michache.” 54
The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land; and after their defeat they will conquer, within a few years.” 54
Neno la Kiarabu bid‘ ni sahihi zaidi kuliko neno la Kiingereza "few." Bid‘ hutumika kwa namba kati ya tatu na kumi. Wafursi waliwashinda Warumi kwa kipigo kikali mwaka 616 CE, wakawachukulia Siria Kubwa na Misri, na hatimaye wakauzingira mji wao mkuu wa Constantinople. Mwaka 622 CE, Wabyzantium walishinda vita vya maamuzi dhidi ya Wafursi katika vita vya Issus, jambo lililowawezesha kurejesha ardhi zao zote walizokuwa wamepoteza.55
The Arabic word bid‘ is more precise than the English word “few.” Bid‘ is used for a number between three and ten. The Persians dealt the Romans a crushing defeat in the year 616 CE, taking away Greater Syria and Egypt from them and eventually besieging them in their capital of Constantinople. In 622 CE, the Byzantines won a decisive victory against the Persians at the battle of Issus, which allowed them to regain all the lands they had lost.55
Qur'ani pia ilitabiri kwa usahihi kwamba Waislamu wataweza kuingia Makka kwa amani ili kutekeleza 'umrah, Hija Ndogo.56 Utabiri huo ulikuja katikati ya vita vikali na vya muda mrefu kati ya Waislamu na washirikina wa masanamu waliokuwa wakitawala Makka. Pia uliwaahidi Waislamu kwamba, iwapo wangetimiza masharti ya imani kamili na matendo mema, Allah angewafanya warithi wa ardhi na kutawala dunia, angeimarisha dini yao, na angebadilisha hofu waliyokuwa wakiishi nayo kuwa amani na usalama.57 Hayo ndiyo yaliyotokea kikamilifu.
The Qur’aan also accurately predicted that the Muslims would be able to enter Makkah peacefully in order to make‘umrah, the Lesser Pilgrimage.56 The prediction came in the middle of a long bitter war between the Muslims and the idol worshippers who ruled Makkah. It also promised the Muslims that if they fulfilled the conditions of complete faith and good deeds that Allaah would deputize them to rule the world and would establish their religion and replace the fear they were currently living in with security.57 That is precisely what happened.
