God Arises
The Challenge of The Qur’an
~ 291 ~
Nearer to our times, one of the most famous
unfulfilled prophecies was that which the German
dictator, Adolf Hitler made about himself.
In a famous speech delivered in Munich on the 14th
of March, 1936, he declared that he was marching
ahead with full confidence that victory would come
his way. The world knows, however, that after
several brilliant victories, the destiny that awaited
him was a final crushing defeat, and an
ignominious death by suicide.
If we look at the historic prophecies which have
been made in this world, those made in the Quran
stand out from all the rest in that they all came quite
literally true. This fact is ample proof that their
origin was a superhuman mind which, with its
eternal knowledge, controls the course of cosmic
events—in short, they were the words of God.
Of particular interest are the predictions concerning
the victories respectively of the Prophet of Islam
over his antagonists and of the Romans over the
Persians.
