Signs That the Qur'an's Values will Prevail
Many verses refer to the global prevalence of the Qur'an's values in the Golden Age, the latter years of the End Times. These verses have great parallels with our Prophet's (saas) sayings related to the Golden Age. Clearly, this prevalence is a sign of the Golden Age described by our Prophet (saas), for such an event has not occurred yet. Some verses about how this phenomenon will come about are as follows:
Allah has written, "I will be victorious, I and and My Messengers." Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala: 21)
They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His Light, though the unbelievers hate it. He sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, though the idolaters hate it. (Surat as-Saff: 8-9)
They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the unbelievers detest it. He sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, even though the idolaters detest it. (Surat at-Tawba: 32-33)
Allah confirms the Truth by His words, even though the evildoers hate it. (Surah Yunus: 82)
Those before them planned, but all planning belongs to Allah. He knows what each soul earns, and the unbelievers will soon know who has the Ultimate Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 42)
We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong. Their Messengers brought them the Clear Signs, but they were never going to have faith. That is how We repay evildoers. Then We appointed you after them to be successors on the earth so We might observe how you would act. (Surah Yunus: 13-14)
The Qur'an relates the following divine law in many of its verses: Those who have a pure faith in Allah and do not ascribe partners to Him will inherit the earth. Some examples are the following:
We wrote down in the Zabur, after the Reminder came: "My righteous servants will inherit the earth." (Surat al-Anbiya': 105)
We will leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My threat. They asked for Allah's victory, and every obdurate tyrant failed. (Surah Ibrahim: 14-15)
Musa said to his people: "Seek help in Allah and be steadfast. Earth belongs to Allah. He bequeaths it to any of His servants He wills. The successful outcome is for those who guard against evil." They said: "We suffered harm before you came to us and after you came to us." He said: "It may well be that your Lord is going to destroy your enemy and make you the successors in the land so that He can see how you behave." (Surat al-A'raf: 128-29)
Rather We hurl truth against falsehood, and it cuts right through falsehood and causes it to vanish! Woe without end to you for what you portray! (Surat al-Anbiya': 18)
