Abstract
The Qur'an and the Testaments (Bible) contain hundreds of prophecies about small and big events in the future, but this issue is more important in the Testaments. Prophecies form a large part of the Old and New Testaments. In Christian theology, the term prophet refers to a person who predicts future events, and the occurrence of a prophecy is a sign of the authenticity of the prophet's claim. By examining the prophecies in Ahedin, we can see that some of these prophecies are vague, general and without time and place restrictions, etc., and as a result, it is not possible to verify their accuracy. On the other hand, some of these prophecies have characteristics such as time, place, or other limitations, and as a result, it is possible to verify the accuracy of these prophecies by referring to historical documents. For a long time, research and research on this category of prophecies and their verification has been considered as one of the methods of validating the vows. According to the opinion of many researchers, the realization of some of Ahedin's prophecies is doubtful; Also, in some cases, it can be said with certainty that they will not be realized. Of course, on the other hand, traditional Christian scholars and commentators of the Bible have defended these prophecies by providing different interpretations or interpreting these phrases in many cases, although in some cases they have accepted the non-fulfillment of these prophecies. The results of this research show that although many of the prophecies of the Covenant were fulfilled, some of the prophecies of the Covenant were never fulfilled, and this issue is considered one of the issues of concern to the critics of the Covenant to prove the distortion in this book, while this issue is about the Qur'an. It cannot be seen and all the timely prophecies of the Qur'an have come true.
