Key details matching the image:
Conversion via the Quran: He received a copy of the Quran (English translation) from a Muslim student. Reading it deeply addressed his philosophical questions about God, suffering, evil, and human purpose—especially in the early chapters. He has described the experience as the Quran "reading" him, anticipating his doubts.
Al-Baqarah specifically: Multiple accounts and his own talks highlight the influence of Surah Al-Baqarah (particularly the story of Adam and related verses). This section profoundly impacted him, resolving key intellectual struggles he had as an atheist. He has spoken and written about this in detail (e.g., in lectures on the purpose of life and his books).
He has authored books about his journey, such as Struggling to Surrender and Even Angels Ask, and remains a known figure in Muslim communities for his talks.
