As a clear example of what we’re discussing in the last Part (7) we want to take a look at the beginning of Surah Room, from verse 1-5.
{Alif, Lam, Meem. (1) The Byzantines have been defeated (2) In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.(3) Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice (4) In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. (5)}
[Surah Room: 1-5]
When you look into the explanation of these verses, and I highly advise that you do so, you will see that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him) could not possibly have known at that time about what was going to happen with the Roman Empire. He also could not have known when this would come about.
I just want to add, that the reasons that I am suggesting that you look some of these things up for yourselves are many in number. From them, is that knowing these things for yourself without a doubt, will help increase your Emaan in sha Allah. It will also cause you to be more confident when telling people about these things, as you will know for sure that this is what the scholars are saying.
If you need a website where you can find some of these statements, let us know on the link above for the contact us page, and we’ll make sure to get that information to you in sha Allah.
Hayyakum Allah
