Ummi: Illiterate or Gentile?

[Qualities of Allah]

[QuranSearchCom]

Wa Alaikum As'salam,

Ummi has different meanings.  The hadiths and Seerah (history of early Islam) say the Prophet was illiterate.  I believe the Prophet learned how to read and write during his Prophethood, as this was the first Command Allah Almighty Commanded him: "Read".  The Glorious Quran also speaks strongly against ignorance, laziness and being negative:

Also when the battle of Badr was over, which was the first battle the Muslims fight, Prophet Muhammad's condition for setting the pagan prisoners free, who couldn't afford to ransom themselves out, was that they each teach ten Muslims how to read and write.


Take care,
Osama

If you believed that the Prophet became literate, then why did you say in one post that the Prophet had many scribes to write letters? Would he not write them by himself?

Even if he learned how to read and write, he would still need scribes.  That is assuming that the Prophet learned how to read and write quickly.  I am not sure where you're going with this type of questioning.  The Glorious Quran's Text is Miraculous:

It is totally irrelevant to the Miracle of the Glorious Quran's Text, Numerical and Scientific Miracles whether the Prophet was illiterate or not.  I personally don't really care.  Can any of your infidels refute the Glorious Quran's Numerical and Scientific Miracles?



No one could:

You could not have planned and wrote the Miraculous Text of the Quran.  The 1000s of numerical and scientific Miracles, and the miracle of the Text Itself and how Words are spelled in certain ways to correlate with certain timings or Numerical Miracle, 100% testify that the Book was indeed from Allah Almighty and none else.  Even your best scribes of today would not have been able to preserve the Glorious Quran like this.  The Quran has 1000s of these Miracles.

So instead of derailing your brain and salvation to Hell with rotten infidels' nonsense, try to see the Glorious Quran in Its own Miracle.  Who really cares who was literate and illiterate back then.

Just wanted to let you know that I dont speak with anyone at all through social media, let alone infidels (The only place in the internet I communicate is this website). I come up with these questions from my brain and sometimes Islamic articles and their different opinions and from them ask questions to you and from them I ask you questions. I asked this question because there was a difference of opinion among Islamic websites of what Ummi really means. But thanks to you, I now know that Ummi can have various meanings, so jazakallah for answering this question.
