                           Another astonishing piece of revelation that the Qur'an gives about the
                       future is to be found in the first verses of Sura Rum, which refers to the
                       Byzantine Empire, the eastern part of the later Roman Empire. In these verses,
                       it is stated that the Byzantine Empire had met with a great defeat, but that it
                       would soon gain victory.



                        ”Elif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land,
                        but after their defeat they will themselves be victorious in a few years'
                                  time. The affair is God's from beginning to end.„
