Tausyiah275

By: Dr Garry Miller

A very important Christian missionary converted to Islam and became
a major herald for Islam, he 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 Quran to try to find any mistakes that
he might take advantage of while inviting Muslims to convert to
Christianity…. He expected the Koran 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 Mohammad (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 Koran 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 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 the Koran 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 Koran (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 Quran 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 Quran, 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’a”(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
Mohammed (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”(26:210-212). “When thou does read the Quran, seek Allah’s
protection from Satan the Rejected One”(16:98).

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 Mohammed 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: “Mohammed 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
Mohammed 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
1 minute! But this did not happen because those are not the words of
Mohammed (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 h! as (the Quran) 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!”(surat Al-Masad).

Dr Miller says about a verse that amazed him: one of the miracles in
the Quran 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 Quran
said about the relation between Muslims and Jews. Quran 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 Quran says that we are your enemies, the Quran 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”(5:
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 Quran that he finds
wonderful: no doubt there is something unique and amazing in Quran
that is not present anywhere else, as the Quran 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 (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)”(3: 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”(11:
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”(12: 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 (distorted) 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 (distorted 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 Quran 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 Mohammed (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 Mohammed 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”.

May Allah reward Dr Miller for this nice reflection on the Book of
Allah

PBUH = Peace Be Upon Him (Semoga Sholawat Senantiasa Dicurahkan Untuk Beliau)
