Assalam olaikum,
In religious context the word prophecy refers to an inspired statement of a Prophet, which is considered to be a revelation of divine will. In other words, it is a forecast of the future that is made under divine inspiration.
The Quran has also prophesized about the future and each of its prophecy has proved to be genuine and true. It is not plausible that Prophet Mohammad (saw), who lived in the nomadic Arab society, 1400 years back, could him self predict about such fascinating scientific events that were going to occur. Therefore, the only believable source behind these prophecies and predictions is the Divine power of Allah (swt). Interestingly enough, all the Quranic prophecies have been fulfilled by those who were atheists or non-Muslims. Hence, the question of influencing the circumstances or any kind of manipulation does not arise.
Here are some prophesies in the Quran which are related to the promise of Allah (swt) to show the disbelievers that Al-Quran is His Word:
"Their skins will bear witness against them as to what they have been doing" (41:21)
What the Quran has revealed 14 centuries back was discovered by mankind in the 19th century. It was finally proved that the fingerprints provide a foolproof way of personal identification. In the present times, the science of fingerprint Identification is superior to the rest of the forensic sciences because no two fingerprints have ever been found to be similar in many billions of human and automated computer comparisons.
