Science Corroborates Islamic Predictions of Doomsday

Science Corroborates Islamic Predictions of Doomsday It is generally held that Islam and science are separate from one another, the subject of Islam being different from science subjects. However, there is one respect in which Islam and science completely conform to one another. Moreover, what science is now making known through its discoveries has already been made known in Islam through revelation. The difference is that Islam had made these predictions about things 15 hundred years ago in the 7th century AD, while science has discovered these same things only in recent centuries and particularly at the beginning of the 21st century. These predictions include the coming of Doomsday or the end of human history. What is strange about this is that what had been predicted in the Quran and Hadith has only now come to man’s knowledge as facts through scientific observations. The Quran, the revealed book of God, directly addresses this issue. It says: “Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of the evil which men’s hands have done: and so He will make them taste the fruit of some of their doings, so that they may turn back from evil.” (30:41)
