I was writing an article about this topic and I thought I’d share it with you guys. It’s pretty interesting. I don’t know if you’ve ever read in World Civilizations when the Roman Empire was defeated by the Persians around 614 AD. In the Quran there is actually a chapter called The Romans. It reveals a prophecy that Prophet Mohammad(s) made about the Roman defeat.
“ The Romans have been defeated, In a nearer land but they after being defeated will soon be victorious, Within a few years; God’s is the authority before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice, With the aid of God; Aideth He whomsoever He willeth; And He is the All-mighty, the All-Merciful,( This is) the promise of God ”
The Pagans of Mecca rejoiced at the defeat of the Christians and began taunting the Muslims because they thought the fate of the Muslims would be the same. This verse was revealed to console Muslims who were saddened by the defeat of the Christians. At that time there was a close bond between Muslims and Christians, who were both considered enemies of the idol-worshipers( they both followed similar scriptures). The prophecy was fulfilled nine years after it had been made ( 624 AD)when Heraclius defeated the fire-worshiping Persians and the Muslims defeated the Pagans at Badr.
