Ghaffar has criticised Tesei for interpreting the Quranic passage as an ex-eventu prophecy since "a few years" would be an unnecessarily vague prediction if made after the events had transpired, unlike known ex-eventu prophecies. Unlike typical apocalyptic prophecies, it also does not fortell how events will unfold up to the end time. | Ghaffar has criticised Tesei for interpreting the Quranic passage as an ex-eventu prophecy since "a few years" would be an unnecessarily vague prediction if made after the events had transpired, unlike known ex-eventu prophecies.
