Many of the earliest revealed chapters of the Quran cite various phenomena as evidence in support of the cardinal doctrines and teachings of the Quran. Some of these passages constitute prophecies, the fulfillment of which has been witnessed in the course of the centuries. Often the fulfillment is of the literal meaning, sometimes it is of the metaphorical connotation, or it may be of both. As already explained, the very name of the Book is a grand prophecy, the fulfillment of which has been witnessed through the ages. The very first revelation announced the advent of the age of learning through the extensive use of the pen (96:4-6).
