Allah says,
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ [3] إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ [4] عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ
[ النجم : [3-5 ].It means,
{Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. * It is only a Revelation revealed. * He has been taught (this Quran) by one mighty in power (Jibril: Gabriel).}
[Al-Najm 53:3-5]
The Quran contains a lot of news about the Unseen, and it tells us about them before they occur.
Allah says,
الٓمٓ [1] غُلِبَتِ ٱلرُّومُ [2] فِيٓ أَدۡنَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ غَلَبِهِمۡ سَيَغۡلِبُونَ [3 ] فِي بِضۡعِ سِنِينَۗ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَمِنۢ بَعۡدُۚ وَيَوۡمَئِذٖ يَفۡرَحُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ [4] بِنَصۡرِ ٱللَّهِۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
[ الروم : 1-5 ] .
It means,
{Alif-Lâm-Mîm. * The Romans have been defeated * in the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious * within a few years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allah. And on that day, the believers (the Muslims) will rejoice * at the Help of Allah. He helps whom He wills, and He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.}
[Al-Rum 30: 1-5]
These noble verses descended when the Sabour overcame the region of Syria and the nearby parts of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the far away Persian lands.
The word translated as "a few" in these verses means: "between three and nine."
These noble verses explained that the Persians conquered the nearer land. Heraclius, the Byzantine Emperor, was obliged to ask for help from the capital (Byzantium: present-day Istanbul), where he was trapped for a long time, but then Heraclius restored his empire as the Quran explained. That happened seven years before the victory of Persians. How could Muhammad (sws) have known about that? Undoubtedly, Allah informed His prophet of all these unseen things. Allah informed His prophet that the Byzantine Empire would win the war even though they had just been defeated by the Persians. Not only that, but also that the period in which victory would be had would be seven years.
All of this proves that the Prophet (sws) was sent by Allah Almighty. These noble verses are true witness of the trustworthiness of the Prophet's call and that the Quran is the Word of Allah.
Allah says,
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنٗاۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِي شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ
[ النور : 55 ].
It means,
{Indeed Allah shall fulfill the true vision which He showed to His Messenger (sws) in truth. Certainly, you shall enter al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the Kaäba), if Allah wills, secure, (some) having your heads shaved, and (some) having your hair cut short, having no fear. He knew what you knew not, and He granted besides that an imminent victory.
[Al-Fath 48: 27]
This noble verse was sent down in the sixth year after the migration of the Prophet (sws) to Medina, after leaving al-Hudaybia (where a treaty was signed to the apparent disadvantage of the Muslims), the Prophet (sws) told his companions that he had a dream, (and the dreams of prophets are true visions) in which he saw himself entering Mecca and going around the Kaäba.
