Islam and Swadhya  2 (Gary Miller)

In 1977, Professor Gary Miller, an active Canadian preacher of Christianity   decided to provide a great service to Christianity through exposing scientific and historical errors in the Noble Qur’an in such a way that would be beneficial to him and his fellow preachers in calling Muslims to Christianity.

 However, the result was completely to the contrary.

 He considered the Noble Qur’an, as it should be and reached the conclusion that it cannot be a work of a human being.

The first surprising issue for Professor Miller was the challenging tone in many verses of the Qur’an such as

Will they not then ponder on the Qur’an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.( Quran  4. 82)

Although Professor Miller was challenging at the beginning, he ended astonished at what he found.

 The following are some of the points he mentioned in Miller’s lecture “The Amazing Qur’an”:

Noble Qur’an tells the reader that there are no errors in it and then challenges all people to find any, if any.

The Noble Qur’an does not mention the hard events in Prophet Muhammad’s personal life, such as the death of his dear wife  Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), death of his daughters and sons.

Strangely enough, the verses that were revealed as a comment on some of the setbacks proclaimed victory while those revealed at time of victory warned against arrogance and called for more sacrifices and efforts.

If one writes his own autobiography, he would magnify the victories and justify the defeats.

it is not a history of a specific period but rather a text that sets general rules for the relationship between Allah (the Almighty) and worshippers.

. There is a surah in the Noble Qur’an called Maryam (Mary) in which  Maryam (may Allah be pleased with her) mother of Jesus Christ  is eulogized in a way not even found in the Bible.

 There is no surah in the name of  `Ayisha (may Allah be pleased with her) wife of Prophet or  Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) daughter of Prophet

The name of prophet Isa (peace be upon him) (Jesus) is mentioned 25 times in the Noble Qur’an while the name of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is mentioned only five times.

Abu Lahab was a  close relative of Prophet . He and his wife turned to be the worst enemies of Islam. They systematically planned and tortured Prophet by words and deeds .

When this atrocity  went to unbearable level Sura Al Masad was revealed cursing Abu Lahab anf his wife with a ignoble death and punishment  . In the whole Quran it is the one and only Surah wherein an individual is cursed by name

Abu Lahab and his wife lived for ten years after this surah was revealed

.Had they turned believers in these ten years Quran would have been proved to be false .

 However, they did not believe or even pretend to believe.  

This clearly proves that the Noble Qur’an was Almighty’s revelation

In 1978 Professor Miller embraced Islam and called himself Abdul-Ahad.
