Avery important Christian missionary converted to Islam and became a majorherald for Islam, he was a very active missionary and was very knowledgeableabout the Bible...
This man likes mathematics so much, that's why he likes logic. One day, hedecided to read the Quran to try to find any mistakes that he might takeadvantage of while inviting Muslims to convert to Christianity.... He expectedthe Koran to be an old book written 14 centuries ago, a book that talks aboutthe desert and so on...He was amazed from what he found. He discovered thatthis Book had what no other book in the world has.... He expected to find somestories about the hard time that the Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon <img width="332" height="298">Him)had, like the death of his wife Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) or thedeath of his sons and daughters...however, he did not find anything likethat... and what made him even more confused is that he found a full "sura"(chapter)in the Koran named "Mary" that contains a lot of respect toMary(peace be upon her) which is not the case even in the books written by Christiansnor in their bibles.

Hedid not find a Sura named after "Fatimah"(the prophet's daughter) nor"Aa’ishah"(the Prophet's wife), may Allah(God) be pleased with bothof them. He also found that the name of Jesus(Peace Be Upon Him) was mentionedin the Koran 25 times while the name of "Mohammed"(Peace Be Upon Him)was mentioned only 4 times, so he became more confused. He started reading theKoran more thoroughly hoping to find a mistake but he was shocked when he reada great verse which is verse number 82 in Surat Al-Nisa'(Women) that says:
“Do they not consider the Koran (with care)? Had itbeen from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein muchdiscrepancy”.
Dr Miller says about this verse: “ One of the wellknown scientific principles is the principle of finding mistakes or looking formistakes in a theory until it’s proved to be right (Falsification Test)…what’samazing is that the Holy Quran asks Muslims and non-muslims to try to findmistakes in this book and it tells them that they will never find any”.He also says about this verse: no writer in the world has the courage to writea book and say that it’s empty of mistakes, but the Quran, on the contrary,tells you that it has no mistakes and asks you to try to find one and you won’tfind any.
Another verse that Dr Miller reflected on for a long time is the verse number30 in Surat “Al-Anbiya’”(The Prophets): “ Do notthe Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as oneunit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water everyliving thing. Will they not then believe?”
He says: “ This verse is exactly the subject of thescientific research that won the Noble prize in 1973 and was about the theoryof the “Great Explosion”. According to this theory, the universe was the resultof a great explosion that leads to the formation of the universe with its skiesand planets”.
Dr Miller says: “ Now we come to what’s amazingabout the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and what’s pretended about the devils helpinghim, God says: “No evil ones have broughtdown this (Revelation), it would neither suit them nor would they be able (toproduce it). Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearingit” (26:210-212). “When thou do read the Quran, seek Allah's protectionfrom Satan the Rejected One” (16:98).
You see? can this be the devil’s way to write abook? how can he write a book then tells you to ask God for protection fromthis devil before reading that book? those are miraculous verses in thismiraculous book! and has a logical answer to those who pretend that it’s fromthe devil”. And among the stories that amazed Dr Miller is the story ofthe Prophet (PBUH) with Abu-Lahab… Dr Miller says: “This man (Abu Lahab) used to hate Islam so much that he would go after theProphet wherever he goes to humiliate him. If he saw the prophet talking tostrangers, he used to wait till he finishes and then ask them: what didMohammed tell you? If he said it’s white then it’s in reality black and if hesaid it’s night then it’s day. He meant to falsify all what the prophet saysand to make people suspicious about it. And 10 years before the death of AbuLahab, a sura was inspired to the prophet, named “Al-Masad”. This sura tellsthat Abu Lahab will go to hell, in other words, it says that Abu Lahab will notconvert to Islam. During 10 years, Abu Lahab could have said: “Mohammed issaying that I will not become a Muslim and that I will go to the hell fire, butI’m telling you now that I want to convert to Islam and become a Muslim. Whatdo you think about Mohammed now? Is he saying the truth or no? Does hisinspiration come from God?”

Whatdo you think about Mohammed now? Is he saying the truth or no? Does hisinspiration come from God?”
But Abu Lahab did not do that at all although he was disobeyingthe prophet in all matters, but not in this one. In other words, it was as ifthe prophet (PBUH) was giving Abu Lahab a chance to prove him wrong! But he didnot do that during 10 whole years! he did not convert to Islam and did not evenpretend to be a Muslim!! Throughout 10 years, he had the chance to destroyIslam in 1 minute! But this did not happen because those are not the words ofMohammed (PBUH) but the words of God Who knows what’s hidden and knows that AbuLahab will not become a Muslim.
How can the prophet (PBUH) know that Abu Lahab will prove what is said in thatSura if this was not inspiration from Allah? How can he be sure throughout 10whole years that what he has (the Quran) is true if he did not know that it’sinspiration from Allah?? For a person to take such a risky challenge, this hasonly one meaning: that this is inspiration from God.
“Perish the hands of the Father of Flame (AbuLahab)! perish he! No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains!Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of blazing Flame! His wife shall carry the(crackling) wood; As fuel! A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own)neck!” (surat Al-Masad).
Dr Miller says about a verse that amazed him: one of the miracles in the Quranis challenging the future with things that humans cannot predict and to whichthe “Falsification Test” applies, this test consists of looking for mistakesuntil the thing that is being tested is proved to be right. For example, let’ssee what the Quran said about the relation between Muslims and Jews. Quran saysthat Jews are the major enemies for Muslims and this is true until now as themain enemy for Muslims are the Jews.
Dr Miller continues: this is considered a great challenge since the Jews havethe chance to ruin Islam simply by treating Muslims in a friendly way for fewyears and then say: here we are treating you as friends and the Quran says thatwe are your enemies, the Quran must be wrong then! But this did not happenduring 1400 years!! and it will never happen because those are the words of TheOne who knows the unseen (God) and not the words of humans.
Dr Miller continues: can you see how the verse that talks about the enmitybetween Muslims and Jews constitutes a challenge to the human mind? “Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thoufind the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the Believers wiltthou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst theseare men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they arenot arrogant. And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger,thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognize the truth:they pray: "Our Lord! We believe; write us down among the witnesses”(5: 82-84)
This verse applies to Dr Miller as he was a Christian but when he knew thetruth, he believed and converted to Islam and became a herald. May Allahsupport him.
Dr Miller says about the unique style of the Quran that he finds wonderful: nodoubt there is something unique and amazing in Quran that is not presentanywhere else, as the Quran gives you specific information and tells you thatyou did not know this before. For example: "Thisis part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (OProphet!) by inspiration: thou was not with them when they cast lots witharrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam: nor wasthou with them when they disputed (the point)” (3: 44).
“Such are some of the stories of the Unseen, whichWe have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy People knew them.So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who are righteous” (11:49). “Such is one of the stories of what happenedunseen, which We reveal by inspiration unto thee: nor was thou (present) withthem when they concerted their plans together in the process of weaving theirplots” (12: 102)
Dr Miller continues: “ No other holy book uses thisstyle, all the other books consist of information that tells you where thisinformation came from. For example, when the (distorted) holy bible talks aboutthe stories of the ancient nations, it tells you that a this king lived in athis place and a that leader fought in that battle, and that a certain personhad a number of kids and their names are…. But this book (distorted Bible)always tells you that if you want to know more, you can read a certain booksince that information came from that book”.
Dr Garry Miller continues: “this is in contrary tothe Quran which gives you the information and tells you that it’s new!! Andwhat’s amazing is that the people of Mecca at that time -time of inspiration ofthose verses- used to hear those verses and the challenge that the informationin those verses was new and was not known by Mohammed (PBUH) nor by his peopleat that time, and despite that, they never said: we know this and it is notnew, and they did not say: we know where Mohammed came from with those verses.This never happened, but what happened is that nobody dared to say that he waslying to them because those was really new information, not coming from the humanmind but from Allah who knows the unseen in the past, the present and thefuture”.
May Allah reward Dr Miller for this nice reflection on the Book of Allah
