The prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) predicts the challenges which humankind is facing today fourteen hundred years ago. In a narration In the book Sahih al-Muslim:
Before the Battle of Badr started, Gods Messenger upon him be peace and blessings, walked around the battlefield and pointed to some locations, saying, Abu Jahl will be killed here, Utba here, Shayba here, Walid here, and so on. By God, we found, after the battle, the dead bodies of all those men in the exact places that Gods Messenger had pointed out
The main objective of prediction is likely to aim immortality and bliss. History follows stable rules and makes our way smooth to predict the future. Sciences main aim is to predict future, meteorologists forecast about weather, economists predict whether devaluing the currency will avert or precipitate an economic crisis. Doctors predict whether chemotherapy will be more successful in curing cancer.
But if we see predicting things is not an easy task, because the present is just too different from the past. It is waste of time to apply the tactics of war used by Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar in the world war 3. Cavalry battles will not win wars in cyber warfare. In present scenario we see scientists , philosophers and scholars in all fields often seek to broaden our horizon thereby opening before us new and unknown futures. Historians too try their hand at prophecy. They study the past not in order to repeat it, but in order to be liberated from it.
We know everyone of us is born into a historical reality, swayed by norms, values and unique political system. We take this reality for granted. We forget that our world was created by an accidental chain of events. History not only our technology, politics and society but our thoughts and dreams, it directs our gaze towards a single future.
So every movement which is seeking to change the world begin by rewriting history thereby enabling the people to reimagine the future.
