REFUGEE: ONLY FOR A WHILE

and he will show you things to come.

(holy bible) john 16: 13

the christians put great weight on the fulfilment of prophecies. muhummed (pbuh) fulfilled many prophecies of the old¹ and the new testaments. to them, the prediction of events is considered to be the function of true prophecy — true prophethood.

the prophet of islam uttered many prophecies which are recorded for posterity in the holy qur'an. here are a few taken at random.

1. verily. he who (god almighty) ordained the qur'an for thee, (he) will bring thee back to the place of return...
(sura qasas) holy qur'an 28: 85

"place of return," is a title of the holy city of makkah. during the hijrat (migration) when the holy prophet was fleeing from makkah to madinah. it was a hopeless situation. most of his followers had already migrated to madinah. now it was his turn. together with abu bakr (as-siddiq) he had reached a place called juhfa, when this assurance was given by god that once again he will return to his birth-place makkah, and so he did.

he migrated as a refugee and god returns him as a conquerer, fulfilling yet another prophecy.²

and he (moses) said, the lord came from sinai, and rose from seir unto them; he shined forth from mount paran (that is in arabia), and he (muhummed) came with ten thousand saints:³from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
(holy bible) deuteronomy 33: 2
