A fundamental pillar in the Islamic faith is the belief that Allah is the only Being who knows how the unseen events and facts will exactly happen in the future. Therefore, it was reasonable to find prophecies in the Qur’an as evidence to prove that this book is the truth from God. The present article aimed to shed the light on the major prophecies mentioned in the Holy Qur’an testifying for its truthfulness as a religious book sent from God to his last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings upon him (PBUH). Eight Qur’anic prophecies were categorized and discussed in this article. The first category comprised prophecies that came true during the Prophetic life span, which we referred to as “near-future happenings”. The second category included events that have come true after Prophet Muhammad PBUH has passed away which we termed “far-future happenings”. The third category included far-future news that was foretold to uncover an ancient event. The fourth category covers two undeniable consistent facts that become more evident as time passes. Appropriate understanding of these prophecies is essential for every Muslim to present and prove Islam to people as the religion of truth.
