Miller, who’s studying at Masjid Muhammad of Atlantic City Inc., says it was a hadith from the Prophet Mohammad, which propelled him to step out and speak up. “The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger.”

Ibn Ali was also honored for his actions in Atlantic City last month. He was in tears as he described the impact his mother had on his life.
