✦ Dr. Gary Miller and His Research on the Qur’an
Authored by: Professor Gary Miller
❖ From Critic to Believer: Dr. Gary Miller’s Journey
Dr. Gary Miller, a Canadian mathematician and Christian missionary, initially embarked on a mission to
find flaws in the Qur’an so that he could use them in Christian preaching. However, contrary to his expectations, his research yielded
no such flaws. Deeply impressed by the profound insights and teachings of the Qur’an, he
embraced Islam and transitioned from a Christian preacher to a
proponent of Islam. Many of his lectures and writings remain accessible on various websites to this day.
✿ Analytical Lecture by Dr. Miller on the Qur’an
Presented here is a translated segment from one of Dr. Miller’s analytical lectures on the Qur’an. In it, he explores the Qur’an from multiple perspectives to highlight its
divine authenticity. His writings not only validate the Qur’an’s accuracy from
scientific and historical viewpoints but also
address the objections raised by critics. His deep examination of the Qur’an before accepting Islam, and his discussion on its unique features, clearly establish that the Qur’an stands
distinct from all other scriptures.
◈ Astonishing Aspects of the Qur’an
It is a fact that the
greatness of the Qur’an is acknowledged not just by Muslims but even by
non-Muslims, including open critics of Islam. When a person studies this book, they realize that the
Qur’an defies all prior assumptions and expectations.
✔ The Unique Nature of the Qur’an
Typically, ancient historical books are expected to provide information related to the
medicine, healing, and general lifestyle of their era. The Bible and other religious texts do offer such details. However, the
Qur’an is uniquely different in this regard. It contains
no content based on the medical or scientific beliefs of its time. Instead, the Qur’an presents information and principles that are
beyond its own era, aligning with
future scientific discoveries.
❀ Scientific Accuracy in the Qur’an
An analysis of the Qur’an’s academic content and statements reveals that it
cannot be ordinary human speech. For instance, the Qur’an discusses the
creation of the seas, the atmosphere, the earth, and the heavens in ways that modern science affirms. Scientists like
Professor Keith Moore, a renowned embryologist, verified that the Qur’anic teachings in the field of embryology are
scientifically accurate. He confirmed that these statements were
beyond the reach of human knowledge at the time and could only be the
word of Allah.
✦ The Qur’an’s Challenge and Reasoning
To prove its divine origin, the
Qur’an invites its reader to research and critically analyze it. It declares that had it not been the word of Allah, it would have contained contradictions. This challenge not only
engages scholars but also presents a
clear and rational standard by which the Qur’an substantiates its truth.
◉ Objective Evaluation
The
Qur’an can also be assessed objectively. Its statements and information related to the universe are
surprisingly accurate according to the laws of mathematics, showcasing a level of precision that is impossible for any human-authored text of its time.
