Dr Gary Miller (Now Dr Abdul Ahad)
was a very active missionary and
was very knowledgeable about the
Bible. This man likes mathematics so
much, that’s why he likes logic. One
day, he decided to read the Qur’an to
try to find any mistakes that he might
take advantage of while inviting
Muslims to convert to Christianity. He
expected the Qur’an to be an old
book written 14 centuries ago, a
book that talks about the desert and
so on. He was amazed from what he
found.

He discovered that this Book had
what no other book in the world has.
He expected to find some stories
about the hard time that the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
had, like the death of his wife
Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with
her) or the death of his sons and
daughters. However, he did not find
anything like that. And what made
him even more confused is that he
found a full “Sura” (chapter) in the
Qur’an named “Mary” that contains a
lot of respect to Mary (peace be upon
her) which is not the case even in
the books written by Christians nor in
their Bibles. He did not find a Sura
named after “Fatimah”(the prophet’s
daughter) nor “Aishah” (the Prophet’s
wife), may Allah (God) be pleased
with both of them. He also found that
the name of Jesus (Peace Be Upon
Him) was mentioned in the Qur’an 25
times while the name of
“Muhammad” (Peace Be Upon Him)
was mentioned only 4 times, so he
became more confused. He started
reading the Qur’an more thoroughly
hoping to find a mistake but he was
shocked when he read a great verse
which is verse number 82 in Surat
Al-Nisa’a (Women) that says:
“Do they not consider the Qur’an
(with care)? Had it been from other
than Allah, they would surely have
found therein much discrepancy”.
Dr Miller says about this verse: “One
of the well known scientific principles
is the principle of finding mistakes or
looking for mistakes in a theory until
it’s proved to be right (Falsification
Test). What’s amazing is that the
Holy Qur’an asks Muslims and non-
muslims to try to find mistakes 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 write a
book and say that it’s empty of
mistakes, but the Qur’an, on the
contrary, tells you that it has no
mistakes and asks you to try to find
one and you won’t find any.”
Another verse that Dr Miller reflected
on for a long time is the verse
number 30 in Surat “Al-Anbiya” (The
Prophets):
“ Do not the Unbelievers see that the
heavens and the earth were joined
together (as one unit of Creation),
before We clove them asunder? We
made from water every living thing.
Will they not then believe?”
He says: ”This verse is exactly the
subject of the scientific research that
won the Noble Prize in 1973 and was
about the theory of the “Great
Explosion”. According to this theory,
the universe was the result of a great
explosion that lead to the formation
of the universe with its skies and
planets.
Dr Miller says: “Now we come to
what’s amazing about the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) and what’s
pretended about the devils helping
him, God says:
“No evil ones have brought down this
(Revelation), it would neither suit
them nor would they be able (to
produce it). Indeed they have been
removed far from even (a chance of)
hearing it.” The Holy Qur’an, Chapter
26, Verses 210-212.
“When thou does read the Qur’an,
seek Allah’s protection from Satan
the Rejected One” The Holy Qur’an,
Chapter 16, Verse 98.
You see? Can this be the devil’s way
to write a book? how can he write a
book then tells you to ask God for
protection from this devil before
reading that book? Those are
miraculous verses in this miraculous
book! and has a logical answer to
those who pretend that it’s from the
devil”.
And among the stories that amazed
Dr Miller is the story of the Prophet
(PBUH) with Abu-Lahab. Dr Miller
says: “This man (Abu Lahab) used to
hate Islam so much that he would go
after the Prophet wherever he goes to
humiliate him. If he saw the prophet
talking to strangers, he used to wait
till he finishes and then ask them:
What did Muhammad tell you? If he
said it’s white then it’s in reality
black and if he said it’s night then
it’s day. He meant to falsify all what
the prophet says and to make people
suspicious about it. And 10 years
before the death of Abu Lahab, a
Sura was inspired to the prophet,
named “Al-Masad”. This sura tells
that Abu Lahab will go to hell, in
other words, it says that Abu Lahab
will not convert to Islam. During 10
years, Abu Lahab could have said:
“Muhammad is saying that I will not
become a Muslim and that I will go
to the hell fire, but I’m telling you
now that I want to convert to Islam
and become a Muslim. What do you
think about Muhammad now? Is he
saying the truth or no? Does his
inspiration come from God?”. But Abu
Lahab did not do that at all although
he was disobeying the prophet in all
matters, but not in this one. In other
words, it was as if the prophet
(PBUH) was giving Abu Lahab a
chance to prove him wrong! But he
did not do that during 10 whole
years! he did not convert to Islam
and did not even pretend to be a
Muslim!! Throughout 10 years, he
had the chance to destroy Islam in
one minute! But this did not happen
because those are not the words of
Muhammad (PBUH) but the words of
God Who knows what’s hidden and
knows that Abu Lahab will not
become a Muslim.
How can the prophet (PBUH) know
that Abu Lahab will prove what is
said in that Sura if this was not
inspiration from Allah? How can he
be sure throughout 10 whole years
that what he has (the Qur’an) is true
if he did not know that it’s
inspiration from Allah?? For a person
to take such a risky challenge, this
has only one meaning: that this is
inspiration from God.
“Perish the hands of the Father of
Flame (Abu Lahab)! 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!” The Holy Qur’an,
Chapter 111.
Dr Miller says about a verse that
amazed him: One of the miracles in
the Qur’an is challenging the future
with things that humans cannot
predict and to which the
“Falsification Test” applies, this test
consists of looking for mistakes until
the thing that is being tested is
proved to be right. For example, let’s
see what the Qur’an said about the
relation between Muslims and Jews.
Qur’an says that Jews are the major
enemies for Muslims and this is true
until now as the main enemy for
Muslims are the Jews.
Dr Miller continues: This is
considered a great challenge since
the Jews have the chance to ruin
Islam simply by treating Muslims in a
friendly way for few years and then
say: here we are treating you as
friends and the Qur’an says that we
are your enemies, the Qur’an must be
wrong then! But this did not happen
during 1400 years!! and it will never
happen because those are the words
of The One who knows the unseen
(God) and not the words of humans.
Dr Miller continues: Can you see how
the verse that talks about the enmity
between Muslims and Jews
constitutes a challenge to the human
mind?
“Strongest among men in enmity to
the Believers wilt thou find the Jews
and Pagans; and nearest among
them in love to the Believers wilt
thou find those who say, “We are
Christians”: because amongst these
are men devoted to learning and men
who have renounced the world, and
they are not 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” The Holy
Qur’an, Chapter 5, Verses 82-84.
This verse applies to Dr Miller as he
was a Christian but when he knew
the truth, he believed and converted
to Islam and became a herald. May
Allah support him.
Dr Miller says about the unique style
of the Qur’an that he finds wonderful:
No doubt there is something unique
and amazing in Qur’an that is not
present anywhere else, as the Qur’an
gives you a specific information and
tells you that you did not know this
before. For example:
“This is part of the tidings of the
things unseen, which We reveal unto
thee (O Prophet!) by inspiration: thou
was not with them when they cast
lots with arrows, as to which of them
should be charged with the care of
Maryam: nor was thou with them
when they disputed (the point)” The
Holy Qur’an, Chapter 3, Verse 44.
“Such are some of the stories of the
Unseen, which We 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” The Holy
Qur’an, Chapter 11, Verse 49.
“Such is one of the stories of what
happened unseen, which We reveal
by inspiration unto thee: nor was
thou (present) with them when they
concerted their plans together in the
process of weaving their plots” The
Holy Qur’an, Chapter 12, Verse 102.
Dr Miller continues: “No other holy
book uses this style, all the other
books consist of information that
tells you where this information came
from. For example, when the Holy
Bible talks about the stories of the
ancient nations, it tells you that a
this King lived in a this place and a
that leader fought in that battle, and
that a certain person had a number
of kids and their names are. But this
book (Bible) always tells you that if
you want to know more, you can read
a certain book since that information
came from that book”.
Dr Garry Miller continues: “This is in
contrary to the Qur’an which gives
you the information and tells you that
it’s new!! And what’s amazing is that
the people of Mecca at that time
(time of inspiration of those verses)
used to hear those verses and the
challenge that the information in
those verses was new and was not
known by Muhammad (PBUH) nor by
his people at that time, and despite
that, they never said: We know this
and it is not new, and they did not
say: We know where Muhammad
came from with those verses. This
never happened, but what happened
is that nobody dared to say that he
was lying to them because those
was really new information, not
coming from the human mind but
from Allah who knows the unseen in
the past, the present and the future
