Did Prophet Muhammad Know How To Read and Write? - Sayed Ammar Nakshawani

- There is a constant effort to discredit the Prophet Muhammad of divine knowledge why picking words from the Quran to show the Prophet Muhammad as someone who would lack the ability to read and write.
Why does Allah (s.w.t) call the Prophet Ummi? What does it actually mean? Who wrote the earliest Quran? - -

I had this exact question and I posed it to my father. Mashallah amazing channel and great content, may Allah(swt) bless you and Sayed Ammar
thank you :)
@Abbas aboud
Also Almighty Allah says:(And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.)(Al-`Ankabut 29: 48)
He also says:(Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them …) (Al-A`raf 7: 157)
Best explanation word of "ummi" 👍👍👍

"Truly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His communications and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the Wisdom, although before that they were in manifest error (3:164). "
Dr. `Abd al-Latif says:
"As the Holy Qur'an clearly states, the foremost duty of the Prophet (SA) was teaching the Qur'an to his followers, and it is certain that the minimum capability required for the one who wants to teach the contents of a book to others is, again as the Qur'an states explicitly, being able to make use of the pen or, at least, being able to read what has been written by the pen."
*Meaning of Unlettered Prophet*
Holy prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was not illiterate, he was not in need of reading & writing since nothing is hidden to him. He gets divine revelation of past, present & future from Almighty God. Therefore Unlettered here means the exalted status of holy prophet as he is the perfect manifestation of the universe...
Holy prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the source of all knowledge...
The prophet pbuh was illiterate:
Chapter 29 verse 48 look it up
Non muslims want muslims to believe that the prophet was literate to prove that the quran was written by man and was copied from the bible
Think think
Wonderful!!!
@@intranext1359 lol it says he didn't read and not can't. Don't you know the difference between can't and don't.
great explanation
where can I find his all lecture?
They are available in great quantity on CZcams and on our channel

Yeah. That makes a perfect sense. You are not wrong. :)
The Quran could have NEVER been written by a person. Why? In order to write it, you'll need 3 things, wisdom, travel experience and future foresight.

Ja’far Ibn Muhammad As-Sufi reported that he asked Imam Al-Jawad (a.): “O son of the Messenger of God, why was the Prophet (s.) named as Ummi?” He said: “What do people say?” I said, “They say he was named as Ummi because he could not write.” Therefore he said: “They lied, God curse them for it! God clearly says in His Book: “It is He Who has raised from among those who are Ummi an Apostle from among them, who reads out to them His Signs, purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom.” (62:2) How did he teach them that which he could not do? By God, the Messenger (s.) read and wrote in 72 (or he said 73) languages. He was called Ummi because he is one of the inhabitants of Mecca, and Mecca is one of the Mothers of Cities, and this is evident from the Word of God: “That you may warn the Mother of Cities and the people around them.” (62:2) (42:7) [Ilal-ush-Shara’i of As-Saduq, Volume 1 Page 124 - 125 Hadith 1]
If you think that illiterate means those who don’t know God’s revelations, then Prophet Muhammad, pbuh was illiterate before God gave him the knowledge of the Book - Al Kitab, and we know it from the Quran.
But if you mean illiterate means who don’t know reading and writing, then definitely the Prophet was literate.
Let us take a deeper look into the verse below:
“He it is Who has sent unto the Al-Ummiyeena-الْأُمِّيِّينَ (generally translated as unlettered people) an apostle from among themselves, to convey unto them His messages, and to cause them to grow in purity, and to impart unto them the divine writ as well as wisdom - whereas before that they were true, most obviously, lost in error” ( Al Quran # 62:2 - Translation - Asad)
If unlettered is the correct meaning of the word Ummi - meaning the person does not know reading and writing, one might ask, did Allah send the Prophet only to the people who do not know reading and writing, as said in the above-mentioned verse? That doesn’t make any sense.
Hence we should consider the other meanings of the word Ummi that are befitting, as evident from other translations of verse 62:2, below:
“He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca (Ummi) a Messenger from among themselves, who recites to them His communications …….. “(Same verse translated by Shakir)
“It is He who raised a messenger from among the Gentiles (Ummi); reciting His revelations to them, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and Wisdom…..” (Translation- Safi Kaskas)
“It is He who raised a messenger, among the people who had no Scripture (Ummi), to recite His revelations to them…..” (Translation- Abdel Haleem)- I consider this translation acceptable.
“He it is Who raised amongst Al-Ummiyyun (The translator chose to leave the word as it is) a Messenger from among themselves……” (Dr. Kamal Omar)
Let us ponder over some historical evidence, as below:
Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, was hired by Khadija, a wealthy Quraish lady as her business manager. So, one could fairly assume that she must have hired the most qualified, competent person - literate up to the standard - knows reading writing, and contemporary accounting too, so that he could run her business correctly, and smoothly, which in fact, the Prophet did.
He developed his business acumen from his frequent business trips abroad with his beloved uncle Abu Talib - mostly to Syria. Abu Talib was educated, and a great poet, too. Dewan - E- Abu Talib published in Saudi Arabia is a collection of thousands of his poetry.
Abu Talib was a rich community leader. So it is quite obvious that he must have given his children a proper education, and his most beloved nephew, the Prophet, too, who was raised in his household. Educating children makes the community leader more dignified in society. Ali bin Abu Talib was educated and famous for his outstanding scholarship. To get a taste of Hazrat Ali’s eloquence please read the book - Nahjul Balagha- ‘The Pinnacle of Eloquence’ - which is a collection of his speeches and letters.
Hence the meaning of ‘Ummi’ taken as ‘unlettered’ is not a correct choice; the correct translation would be the one who is not enlightened with any Scriptural knowledge, which is further confirmed in Verse 2:78, below:
“And there are among them UMMIYUNA (أُمِّيُّونَ) who have no real knowledge of the divine writ, [following] only wishful beliefs and depending on nothing but conjecture.” ( Al Quran # 2:78)
Please read the article in the link below:
www.quran-islam.org/main_topics/misinterpreted_verses/ummy_(P1231).html
A hadith that also proves that Rasulullah could write and read is the hadith of the pen and paper which says that the Prophet asked for pen and paper to write something
Sahih bukhari 114
Ch: The writing of knowledge
ALLAH ,The Glorified has warned us by saying: "AND AMONG MEN THERE IS HE WHOSE TALK CONCERNING THE LIFE HERE MARVELETH THEE AND TAKETH GOD,TO WITNESS AS TO WHAT IS IN HIS HEART YET HE IS THE MOST VIOLENT OF ADVERSARIES, "(2:204).
The word Ummi appears in the Quran in other places as well. The translation of this word is “gentile.” We know for a fact that he was a gentile and he was conveying stories about the Jews and that which they concealed, this is why it is critical that Allah describes the prophet as Ummi. Regardless, the prophet didn’t have any miracles so it’s impossible to explain how he could’ve written the Quran without knowledge of the future. Allah knows best
as far as i am told, i understand that ummi means "Never know/read or never exposed to the previous book" ie. the torah and injeel. many hadits also clarify that muhammas saw can read and write....unfortunately many top scholars including zakir naik don't agree with you....
Surah al ankabut 48 translates..."And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand"
How do we know mohhamed didbt write the quarn
Give me one example mohhamed didnt write it
Who wrote the quran?
Just ask Google you will get sufficient answers
It Is the caliph that established it not Muhammad.
The word of Quran written in kaba is written by Mohammad saw i
الأمي (لقب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم) كان مؤقتًا فقط والذي كان علامة لليهود وانتهى عندما علمه الله سبحان القرآن الكريم - لا نقول ذلك إلى الأبد.
this is the same explanation of modern muslim sunni scholars like dr.tahir ul qadri
You are absolutely correct. Ummi= never read or learn the holy scriptures
Our messenger prophet understood surah Yusuf and thats why he could not reveal his potential to everyone.
Don't we see how in surah Yusuf 12:5
Prophet Yaqub telling Nabi Yusuf not to reveal some matters to his brothers.
So the Rasul ummiyi deed exactly and more.
ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
Islam was once a minority and how it has flourished.
Shia too is a minority and only the intelligent will understand it, not the ignorant.
Dr. Ammar Nakshawani should hold a discussion/debate with Adnan Rashid or Mohammed Hijab, I feel that some of the recent lectures of Dr. Ammar Nakshawani have sadly caused a rift among Sunni's and Shia's. Yes we will never see the world through the same lenses but it doesn't mean we can't come together and share our view points. Insha'Allah kindly request the Dr. to partake in such a discussion so that laypeople are not left in the dark. Since for many years the Dr. has and was promoting "unity" but his lecture in respect to Abu Bakar (ra) and Umar (ra) left a sour taste for those who also try to traverse the road to a united front.
Debate for what? Adnan and Hijab would reject their hadith, Ammar would reject theirs? What did they gain? More division.
@@TehDwelleR Since Dr Ammar claimed that historically speaking his point of view can be proved from Sunni sources. Plus logic/Quran as well as some hadith traditions are common between the two camps. An academic discussion should not be shied away from.
What should be the purpose of such a debate? I think there is plenty of material online to learn from both sides. A debate will just be a repeat of those comments + who is better at oratory and body language.
Please understand that in faith and belief, there can never be winners or loosers. One should sincerely believe ones own learning and understanding regardless whatever any scholar says.
Debates are about winning which makes them a waste of time. It is quite understandable why would any scholar of Syed Ammar's callibre would ignore social media warriors. It only creates more problem. As each side is too bent upon winning, than knowing the truth.
@@1slamExplained I've also seen ammar using sunni refernced be it for the marriage of istimtatum, praing 3 times a day, frmo the sunni sources this is.

Un logical...scholars like to put some suspense in their thought... if he can write then why he didn't write quran himself ????
The guy explained it near the end.
@@elmajraz6019 actually prophet Muhammad pbuh asked the man where it was even though he could of easily found it himself. The fact that he had to ask the the word was located shows us that he clearly couldn't read.
@@coiut2643 I believe and till my last breath I will believe that the HOLY PROPHET ( PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS FAMILY) KNEW HOW TO READ AND WRITE .
@@coiut2643 And what's stopping them to change words? Like Muhammed saww wouldn't know right? Smh you guys keep on defaming Muhammed saww
Was the prophet born with the skills and ability to read or write?
Yup
No it has been thought later by Allah through anjel jibreel
Most disrespectful thing to say that the Prophet pbuh was illiterate. In the Quran it clearly states that he was an “ummi” which means he didn’t LEARN how to read/write from an INSTITUTION. It makes absolutely no sense to say that Rasulallah (saw) could not read/write when he is the Seal of the Prophets and contains all of the knowledge in the universe
Those who say the Prophet couldn’t read or write are ignorant themselves.
Why are you angry
The Prophet knew so many languages, he knew more languages than anyone in the world👀
from a neutral view.. it could be just verbal
But it doesn't about institutions. So stop making stuff up
Surah ankabut verse 48 Allah affirms he cant read or write and you’re spreading lies against him
Actually the verse never tells that he couldn't read or write. Read the verse again.
He dies not even answer the question. There is no consensus among historians that the Holy prophet did not know how to read and write. The word used in Quran for holy prophet is UMII meant by sunnis the illiterate but there are seven means of this word and ummi does not mean illiterate but it means one who was never taught at a school or university by someone. One who was never institutionalized by someone.The Holy prophet was never taught by anyone. Not a single reference is there that shows that holy prophet went to a school or a teacher it doesn't mean he was illiterate, he had divine knowledge by Allah. Another meaning of word ummi is it is derived from the word UMMAL QURA that was the name of Makka means the mother of all lands. So Allah calls his prophet the citizen of Makka that he has sent a prophet who is from Makka like you as a citizen of this city. In the context of that ayyat in which is Allah is praising his prophet his messenger. How could Allah degrade his own prophet by calling him illiterate?? How could Allah give command of his whole world in the hands of a person who was nauzubillah illiterate?? The holy prophet never showed off his talents of writing and had people to write down the revelations because otherwise the people would object over him that he was taught by that teacher so that the teacher must have taught the Quran to him or he himself has written it down. There are many references in sahi bukhari and other books in which people from other lands n cultures came to Holy prophet n he spoke to them in their own native languages. There are incidents of animals like deer talked to Holy prophet n he talked to them in their own languages. This is so sad that some people without having much knowledge are trying to go for tableegh n dawa n in doing so are spreading false narratives about the Holy prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w.s. and due to such people the true face of islam is tarnished in whole of the world.
Mohammad's Stories cannot be trusted it because in some cases he wrote the story that first creation of Allah was Ars but in Marifat book explaining the first creation of Allah was Nur Mohammad before the existence of Universe and Space .If Nur Mohammad the first Place of Dwelling as the origin where Allah came from from the early space,why does Allah creates the next space ?

I love the way how Shia, drop so many statements and not mention a single hadith or ayah to back up there claims lol
AnonymousMusicRecordz there’s no need for a Hadith this is just tafsir of a word in a verse.
Well does this statement make sense? That's what you need to ask yourself.
It's now finally confirmed from a muslim that Mohammed was acting all his life whenever he asked people to write and read back to him the revelations he just received from Allah. Thank you brother, we non-Muslims have been suspecting this all the while.
What? He had the revelation in his heart. When God gave him the revelation, he got knowledge of it as well. I am pretty sure he didn’t need anyone else to read the revelation for him. That’s not how a revelation of God works
@@darkness17 but these people are still stupid and arrogant and the Same thing can be said about the “gospel” since they argue it was written by the disciples.

Please explain your point. How so!
@Ahmed Ahmed you are the Worlds biggest Mouron....
Even if we assume that Muhammad was so lazy that he didn't bother with learning how to read or write for those fourty years, one didn't need to know how to read or write in the time and society of Muhammad, because the written language wasn't popular in the first place, and the regular people applied to the oral method of communication instead, also amongst the regular Christians and Jews, so the supposed illiteracy of Muhammad is a terrible excuse, for naive people.
And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.
(Al-`Ankabut 29: 48)
Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them (Al-A`raf 7: 157)
@@rafidhiideology909 jahil
This is such an insane argument for no reason.
I mean, if Muhammad was a prophet, (which he's not) what would it matter if he was literate or not? Jesus never wrote down anything, and the Gospels are all transcribed from the Apostles, save John. You don't often see that brought up, because the doctrine is sound and the manuscript traditions are well established.
Uthman should've burned the Hadiths saying he burned Qurans, too!
Shias are too arrogant, they can follow someone who's illiterate.
Excuse me! He is clarifying a widely held view of majority of muslims that Holy Prophet couldn't read or write which is not true! How are shia arrogant?
