Life Event
“There are
events which
bring to light
the fact that
even while in
Madinah, the
Prophet (s) did
not read or
write.”
![Page 3: The unschooled prophet](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052413/559dfbe51a28ab5f468b488a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
“Among all such events, the event of
Hudaybiyah is the best known, for it is of
particular historical significance.”

The Adversaries’ Accusation
- accused Prophet Muhammad
of borrowing ideas from
others.
But even the oppressive and
accusing infidels of his time,
who accused the Prophet (s)
in many ways and named
him an insane, a sorcerer, a
liar and an imitator of
others' oral statements, etc,
could not claim that he read
the contents of other books
to them due to his inability to
read and write.

DEFINITE TESTIMONY OF HISTORY
“Qur'anic proofs and abundant indications
deduced from the history of Islam show the Holy
Prophet's (s) mind was untouched by human
teachings.”

“
“He was a man taught only in the
divine school and who received his
knowledge from Him alone.”

“Although Allah has
nothing to do with the
pen, paper, ink, reading
and writing, He swore by
the pen and its
manifestations as a
sacred matter in His
Holy Book.”

“In the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Read in the name of your Lord Who
created. He created man from a clot.
Read and your Lord is Most Honorable;
Who taught (to write) with the pen;
taught man what he knew not.” Q 96:1-5

“He who attended no school was
dear of mine,
Hundreds of tutors were taught
with his divine knowledge.”

“He healed our wandering heart
and our wounded chest.”

“The Prophet was an orphan, a poor shepherd
and a worker who had not read any book and
had not been taught.”
The Prophet

“The sign and miracle that Allah
granted to His last Prophet (s) was the
Book and writing of speech and
meditation, and of feelings and
senses.”

The poet says,
“To enlighten more clearly that the Qur'an is a
revelation and a miracle for the human beings,
Allah, the Everlasting Grace, revealed it to one
among His servants who was:
An orphan
A poor shepherd and a desert rover
Untaught d unschooled man.”
“He grants it to whom He wills, and Allah is of
abounding bounty” Q 62:4
