The texts mention the expansion of the Islamic message and some of the things that happened to the Messenger of Allah. In the third chapter of the Book of habaqûq says: “God comes from Timan, and Pharaoh’s Holy Mountain. His majesty covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth. His splendor was like the light rays emerge from his hands, and there is the secret of his strength. Before he ends the plague and disappear. He stops and makes the earth shake, and it looks estremencer nations. Crumble the eternal mountains, the hills are Undenäs old, their paths forever! “(Habaqûq 3: 3-6)
This is a prediction of the great victory that the Messenger of Allah and his followers have had in spreading the message of Islam, and how it would spread throughout the land. The eternal mountains alludes to the powerful nations succumb and the hills are ancient nations of lesser power. All that would happen. This also relates to two topics that will be understood by those who have knowledge of the Prophet’s biography: the rays of light emanating from his hand and the fever would go away.
And the light rays emanating from his hand
The text says “His splendor was like the sunrise, the rays emanating from his hand where the secret of his strength.” Then he said: “He stops and makes the earth shake, look and makes the nations tremble. “There seems to be making mention of a specific incident. This is what happened to the Prophet, when the Sahabah were unable to break a large stone when they were digging the grave (of the battle at Jandq). The Messenger hit hard, and a third of it broke and left a light. His companions said: Allahu akbar! Then it was repeated again and again. The Messenger said that with the first light he saw the palaces of Syria, with the second light saw the palaces of Persia and the third light he saw the gates of San’a ‘(Yemen).
At Nasâ’iy Ahmad narrated with a hasan isnaad Al Bara ‘ibn’ Azib said: “The Messenger of Allah ordered us to dig the grave. In one part of the excavation, we find a stone that none of us could go. Then we complain about it to the Prophet who came and took a peak, then said: “Bismillah” hit him and left a third of the stone. He said, “Allahu akbar, I have been given the keys of Syria. By Allah, I can see its red palaces now. Then hit a second time and broke the second third, and said: “Allahu akbar, I have been given the keys of Persia. By Allah, I can see the white palace of Al Mada’in. ” Then struck a third time, saying: “Bismillah.” And split the rest of the stone, saying: “Allahu akbar. I have been given the keys of Yemen. By Allah, I can see the gates of San’a ‘from where I am. “[1]
According to a report narrated by al Tabarani: “He struck the stone and left it in a flash. He and the Muslims said: “Allahu akbar” (The Prophet said:) “The first flash of lightning illuminated the palaces of Syria, and the angel Gabriel told me that my nation’s expire … “[2]
Look again at the text quoted above: “His splendor was like the light rays emerge from his hands, and there is the secret of his strength. Before he ends the plague and disappear. He stops and makes the earth shake, and it looks estremencer nations. “
Then think about the ahadith quoted above. Is not this event a sign of prophecy?
The fever will disappear
This prophecy says: “The fever will disappear” This is a clear prophecy, since before the arrival of the Messenger of Allah to Madinah the city was known by a fever that used to whip. In a hadith narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas, the Messenger and his companions came to Makkah to perform the minor pregrinación (‘ umrah) idolaters said, ‘group has been weakened by the fever of Iazrib (former name of the city of Madinah ). “Reported by Bukhari [3].
This fever affected the companions of the Messenger of Allah when they first came to Madinah, the Messenger of Allah and begged his Lord to stop the fever.
It was narrated that `A’ishah said: ‘When the Messenger of Allah came to Madinah, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill. Where they were joined [4] and said, ‘Father! How do you feel? Bilal! How do you feel? “When the fever took Abu Bakr said: ‘Every man wakes from his family, but death is closer to him than the cord of his sandal.’ When the fever hit Bilal, it said: ‘How I would spend the night in the valley (of Makkah) surrounded idhjir and Jalil (two kinds of grass). Perhaps one day I can drink water from Miyannah? Will I be able to see (the hills) Shamah and Tafil? “
‘A’ishah said:’ I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him what was happening, and he said: “Oh Allah! Madinah Make a place so dear to us as Makkah, or even more, and make it healthy. Bless their weights and measures for us, and take your temperature at the Juhfah. ” Reported by Bukhari [5].
Iazrib was hit with this fever, and those who fell victim crossed the plague.
But Allah answered the supplication of His Messenger, and removed the fever of the city, making it a healthy, fulfilling the prophecy mentioned in the Torah.
Other Prophecies
In some cases, the prophecies are general mention the qualities of the Messenger and the revelation that Allah would send, as well as characteristics of their nation, and heaven help you receive, as his ascension to heaven (the Mi’rây) and other .
An example of this is good news for Daniel.
Daniel [6] said, warning the Jews and describe the nation of Muhammad: “Allah will prevail over you, will send a Prophet and a Book revealed to them. He will give authority over the nations, and they will dominate and humiliate the truth. Qîdâr men arise between nations, accompanied by angels in white steeds. Dominate the unbelievers whose destination is the Fire. We took refuge in Allah from the Fire. “
Daniel also said: “I asked and asked Allah to show me what would happen to the people of Israel and if He would forgive them and grant the kingdom and send them prophets, or all would be given to others? An angel appeared in the form of a young man with handsome face and said, “Peace be upon you, Oh, Daniel! Allah says: The people of Israel have angered me and they have rebelled against me. They worshiped false gods instead of me. Have moved from knowledge to ignorance, truth and falsehood. As Nebuchadnezzar sent against them, killed their men, their places of worship destroyed and burned their books. Those who came after him did the same with them. I am disgusted with them and do not help when they face adversity. Remain subject to my anger until I send the Messiah, the son of the virgin, and conclude this with curses and wrath upon them. Remain cursed and humiliated, until you send the Prophet of the Sons of Ishmael with whom Hagar glad tidings, when I sent my angels. Send the disclosure to the Prophet, and teach you the names. The adornment with clothes with pity and do his sense of goodness and mercy be your conscience. I’ll always be your words of truth and reliability of its nature, justice and guidance. I’ll give a book that confirms the Books which were revealed earlier, appealing containing only a few things. Night be transporting it to me on a trip, and I will ascend to the sky to another, amounting to bring it closer to me and greet him with peace, and will reveal. Then I will send my servants with joy and happiness, take care what they entrusted to him as he inspired memorizing. He invited people to worship Me only me with a kind speech, and a beautiful exhortation, devoid of roughness and shouts that are used in the markets. He will be kind to your friends and gracious to his enemies, calling his people to worship me and telling my signals. But they will reject it and pursue it. “
Ibn Taimîiah said: “Then Daniel said the history of the Messenger of Allah as he had heard the angel, ending with the blowing of the Trumpet and the end of the world.”
Then he said: “This prophecy still exists between Jews and Christians. Read it but say that this person has not yet appeared. “
