Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, Abu 'Ammar from Yemen says: Why was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) called the Ummi (unlettered) Prophet?
Answer:
Because he did not read or write (peace and blessings be upon him). Ummi means that he did not read or write, but rather revelation was sent to him (peace and blessings be upon him) through Jibril (peace be upon him). This is one of the signs of his truthfulness (peace and blessings be upon him): that he was Ummi (unlettered) and brought this Qur'an, which baffled the jinn and mankind. Yes, indeed.
