Message: <blockquote data-quote="FAYHAS" data-source="post: 9305937" data-attributes="member: 163019">Salaam,It was claimed that Prophet was illiterate, so why did GOD tell him to read....???[96:1] Read, in the name of your Lord, who created.*The first revelation was "Read," and included the  statement "God teaches by means of the pen" (96:1-4), and the second  revelation was "The Pen" (68:1). The only function of the pen is to  write.The ignorant Muslim scholars then decided to  proclaim Muhammad an illiterate man! They figured that this would make  the Quran's extraordinary literary excellence truly miraculous. The word  they relied on to bestow illiteracy upon the Prophet was "UMMY."  Unfortunately for those "scholars," this word clearly means "Gentile,"  or one who does not follow any scripture (Torah, Injeel, or Quran) [see  2:78, 3:20 & 75, 62:2]; it does NOT mean "illiterate."The Prophet was a successful merchant. The  "Muslim scholars" who fabricated the illiteracy lie forgot that there  were no numbers during the Prophet's time; the letters of the alphabet  were used as numbers. As a merchant dealing with numbers every day, the  Prophet had to know the alphabet, from one to one-thousand.The Quran tells us that Prophet wrote down the  Quran - Prophets's contemporaries are quoted as saying, "These are tales  from the past that he wrote down. They are being dictated to him day  and night" (25:5). You cannot "dictate" to an illiterate person. The  Prophet's enemies who accuse him of illiteracy abuse Verse 29:48, which  relates specifically to previous scriptures.[2:78] Among them are gentiles (Ummiyyeen) who do not know the scripture, except through hearsay, then assume that they know it.[3:20] If they argue with you, then say, "I have simply submitted myself to GOD; I and those who follow me." Yo...u  shall proclaim to those who received the scripture, as well as those  who did not, "Would you submit?" If they submit, then they have been  guided, but if they turn away, your sole mission is to deliver this  message. GOD is Seer of all people.[3:75] Some followers of the  scripture can be trusted with a whole lot, and they will give it back to  you. Others among them cannot be trusted with a single dinar; they will  not repay you unless you keep after them. That is because they say, "We  do not have to be honest when dealing with the gentiles (Ummiyyeen)!"  Thus, they attribute lies to GOD, knowingly.[62:2] He is the One  who sent to the gentiles (Ummiyyeen) a messenger from among them, to  recite to them His revelations, purify them, and teach them the  scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray.(excerpt from another forum)</blockquote>
