The Arabic term for prophecy ''[[Prophets in Islam|nubū'ah]]'' ({{langx|ar|نُبُوْءَة}}) stems from the term for prophets, ''[[Prophets in Islam|nabī]]'' ({{langx|ar|نَبِي}}; pl. ''anbiyāʼ'' from ''nabā'' "tidings, announcement") who are lawbringers that [[Muslim]]s believe were sent by [[God in Islam|God]] to every person, bringing God's message in a language they can understand.<ref name="campo-2009-559">{{cite book|last1=Campo|first1=Juan Eduardo|title=Encyclopedia of Islam|date=2009|publisher=Infobase Publishing|isbn=9780816054541|pages=559–560|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OZbyz_Hr-eIC&q=prophethood+in+islam+encyclopedia&pg=PA559|access-date=22 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{qref|30|47|b=y}}</ref> But there is also the term ''rasūl'' ({{langx|ar|رسول}} "messenger, apostle") to classify those who bring a divine [[revelation]] ({{langx|ar|رسالة}} ''risālah'' "message") via an [[Islamic view of angels|angel]].<ref name=campo-2009-559/><ref name="Shaatri, A.

In the sense of predicting events, the [[Quran]] contains verses believed to have predicted many events years before they happened and that such prophecies are proof of the divine origin of the Qur'an. The Qur'an itself states "Every ˹destined˺ matter has a ˹set˺ time to transpire. And you will soon come to know." {{qref|6|67|b=y|s=y}} Muslims also recognize the validity of some prophecies in other sacred texts like in the [[Bible]]; however, they believe that, unlike the Qur'an, some parts of the Bible have been corrupted over the years, and as a result, not all of the prophecies and verses in the Bible are accurate.<ref>[http://islam.thetruecall.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=357 The Corruption of the Bible – A Fact Attested by the Quran" The True Call] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120904131728/http://islam.thetruecall.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=357 |date=2012-09-04 }}</ref>
