How did Gary Miller revert to Islam?

Gary Miller is a Christian missionary who
Reverted to Islam. He was a very active
missionary and was very knowledgeable about
the Bible. He 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 (since
Islam started in a desert area) and so on.
However, he was amazed from what he found.
He discovered that this Book (the Quran) 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.
Mary was honored in Quran as the lady of all
ladies of all worlds. She is the only woman
mentioned by name in Quran. 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 [verse 82, chapter 4,
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 Quran verse that drew the attention of
Dr Miller [Verse 30, 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?}
Dr. Muller 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.} [Qur'an, Chapter 26, Verses 210-212]
and says:
"When thou does read the Qur'an, seek Allah's
protection from Satan the Rejected
One" [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".
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?". (It is known that
who enters Islam is forgiven from all sins done
before entering into Islam and becomes as a
new born). However, 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
says 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} [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)} [Qur'an, Chapter 3, Verse 44]
and
{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} [Qur'an, Chapter 11, Verse
49]
and
{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} [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".
