A long awaited, rational and correct interpretation of " ummi." I always found it strange that the conclusion was that our beloved Rasool couldnt read or write. It did not make sense. When we read the Quran with a clear, unbiased mind then the only correct answer is the one you Dr, have provided. The Arabs before the Quran was an ummi nation, the Prophet too, as no Scripture had come to them, prior. Even though the Prophet could read and write, he had not written a book nor recited poetry. Hence the Quran made a point of stating this fact.

[@hubaib5640]

Subhaanallah.. What an amazing coincidence. My friend literally asked this same doubt when I was studying in madrasa. And that was some 10-12 years ago, but we couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer. I am so glad that I found this video.

[@rimaamba3135]

May Allah continue to bless you , this understanding made so much sense ,, and that is why the first message that sayidna Muhammad pbuh received was اقرأ read , as we understand it and not ( recite) as was explained to us ,,, now this point is clear and makes perfect sense الحمد لله الذى هدنا لهذا …..

[@MarvelousQuran]

Alhamdulillah. You too

[@Farlid57868]

Subxanallaah this is so beautiful , I just had one of the most beautiful aha! moments in my life because of this segment: Surat Iqra verifies that Prophet Muhammad SAW was taught how to write when you think about verse #5: علم الانسٰن مالم يعلم (Taught ‘the’ Man what he did not know). He didn’t know how to write which is what Surah 3ankabut also mentioned. I put ‘the’ in quotes because the translators seem to miss it which is what the ال means. This ascertains my thinking that the the man in question is Prophet Muhammad SAW because even historical narrations tells us that the first 5 verses were revealed together and there was a pause in revelations (this I think was to prepare the Prophet SAW to practice reading and writing, perhaps the reason of Ghar Hira was like an intensive course for him). I With this the Sura makes complete sense. Jazakallah Dr Hany for being the awakening reasons of our minds with these beautiful segments.

[@MarvelousQuran]

Masha Allahh.. This is Zikraa ذِكْرى which we explained in Surah Abasa 3 and later videos. May Allahh sustain you on the path of guidance Your understanding of the term "insaan" is right on!

[@3tu3ni]

Salaamun Alaikum. This is a very important video despite it being short. Ever since small, I have been taught and internalized the notion that our beloved Rasulullah ﷺ was illeterate. Hence resulting in me accepting everything that has been transmitted via ‘the hadith’ and ‘corrupted tafsir’. The fact that (you have provided evidence and strong arguments) he ﷺ was a literate changed everything for me. EVERYTHING in Al-Quran has meaning, NO MORE ‘COINCIDENTALS’ statement as propagated by some, EVERYTHING is PURPOSEFUL. Jazak Allah Khair, may Allah grant you strength, health, etc., including good students who will take what you have achieved and will achieve further.

[@doityourownway]

Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Dr. Hany. Right now, I'm going through your earliest playlist in this series, from the beginning, after watching the 1, 2.1-2.11 segments, which I struggled to understand fully. Your intention and explanations in these segments to help us build a solid and sustainable foundation were beneficial. I, too, believe our Prophet is not illiterate( it has been bugging me for so long), especially those 23years of his critical mission. I listen to your advice to go back to your earliest playlist, and hopefully, InsyaAllah will understand better and learn more from the other series that follows. It may take some time for me. I pray to Allah to guide me and the rest following this channel. And those who have yet to join.

[@quranmemorized]

Jazzakumullah, it's a really very interesting point of view, may ٱللَّهِ guide anyone as ٱللَّهِ willing

[@iq0099]

Agree 100% proofs are out there. True- the first command to the Prophet is to "Read" and the reply was ما انا بقارئ؟ means what shall I read? ما Does not mean "I don't know" Arabs use this all the time - which means I do. Thank you for the great video.

[@imaduddeen4269]

So from what i understand ummi in this context mean that our Syed(saw) has not studied or trained in previous scriptures and learn about them only after the wahi. I mean he obviously know there are people of previous scriptures but he is not trained in those scriptures.

[@MarvelousQuran]

Yes he learned from the Quran

[@zuzukouzina-original]

Well according to Dr. Atchan, it’s not confirmed he (saws) was illiterate according to the Quran. The Quran only confirms that the prophet Muhammad (saws) had no knowledge of earlier scriptures. I assume according to the Hadiths, prophet Muhammad (saws) was illiterate, which could be true as long as it’s not contradicting the Holy Quran.

[@latrelld8187]

Our prophet receives revelations, the companions write down these verses. Who checks it? Secondly, when the prophet is ordering what verse goes where, how does he do this? Thirdly when the Quran is compiled, you’re telling me all the companions can read the verse and our prophet couldn’t? Fourthly, when the prophet would do treaties (Treaty of Hudaybiyah) and he orders Ali Ibn Abi Talib to write something and the prophet had to sign the document, he signed it without been able to read/proofread the document? The prophet knew how to read and write, however he didn’t write anything so nobody could accuse him of writing the “Quran”. Also the ummi does not mean illiterate, it just means he was never taught how to read and write. Can you imagine someone taught the holy prophet how to read and write? What claim they would have to say we taught the prophet how to read and write? The whole point was Allah taught him everything directly.

[@justCommando]

Yes it makes sense, imagine if someone wrote the Qur'an down and took it to the Prophet (sallallahualayhiwasallam) and asked him to confirm what they've written, and He the Messenger of Allah worked in co-operation with the one who bought it to try and make sure that it's right because he can't read it, so he needs help from the bringer to read it for him. That doesn't seem right, the Messenger should be leading in everything from reading, writing and reciting the Qur'an.

[@LegendaryJoshua]

Alhamdulillah. Such a powerful refutation - clearly, our beloved messenger was not from a community of illiterate people but from those who were unaware of the scripture. As always, the Quran provides the best interpretation from Allah.

[@te593]

Dr Hany I agree with you, and, it's so good to have confirmation that our beloved Prophet was of course not illiterate. May I add, Dr Mohamad Shahrour also asserted that the word Ummi does not mean illiterate. However, you are taking one step further to build a consistent methodology. This is very important work but I do think for the credibility of the work and so as to continue to cascade this approach it is important to involve contemporary Muslim scholars of the Quran in a debate about these findings and your methodology.

[@MarvelousQuran]

@ taghreed elsanhouri Debates do not yield the truth. They only aim to cater to audience appeal. Besides, if a scholar is using the Quranic methodology, then there is no need for debate. We're already on the same team. Without a shared methodology, we would have no basis to converse.

[@swatisquantum]

Since the methodology is that we are to define words in the Quran from how it is used in the Quran, (no need to impose our own meaning) it makes me think it is written in a programming language. Within this programming language are variables, libraries, sets of words used. It’s hard to explain for me, but I am beginning to see it this way from how you explain you’re methodology. I’m sure someone else can better explain it using technology jargon to describe this programming methodology. This makes the Quran even more perfect for me.

[@WabiShabelleTV]

It makes so much sense. If they say Arabs wore illiterate who made thec Arabic that means prophet Mohamed invented the Arabic for the Quran. They can't have both ways.

[@ttcmaq]

The analysis is profound. So many things are taken for granted. By the way explanations, some explanations borderline faulty. Your deductions via research makes a lot of sense and connects a lot of dots between Hadith, sunnah and quran. Thank you. May Allah continue to guide you to clarity and in so doing bring us to more truth.

[@akifghansar]

What about Sure Rehman where Allah Subhanahu tala says "Ar-Rehman Al lamal Quran". It was them to know that Prophet Sallahahu alehaihi wa Sallam was not learned from any human teacher but Allah Subhanahu tala himself. Other wise like in case of ISA A.h.w.s case he got lessons or they say he was Baptized by John the Baptist Yahaya A.h.w.s. no one shud have an inch of a thinking that his beloved was student of any of his Creation

[@Live2Die.]

Remember!!! Quran is a very simple book.. except few things where u need scholars explanation for Fiqh (jurisprudence). Quran is just telling us to ponder over its words.. so we can recognize our creator and believe in Him.. Simple things.. Like.. Who created heaven and earth? Who brings night and day? Who gives life and death? There are signs for wise people in all this.. So u why u wont take a heed??? My friend!!! Dont be fool with people who are trying to confuse u?

You have certainly done a horrible thing! Quran 19:28 O sister of Aaron!1 Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.” 19:28 says "sister of Aaron". Aaron is the brother of Moses, so Isa is the nephew of Aaron and Moses. Keep in mind, Moses and Aaron did in fact had a sister called Mary. The hadiths are teying to explain this(there are problems with the explenation).

Also, why is Imran called the father of Mary while Imran is the father of Moses, Aaron and their sister Mary. We know who is the real father of Mary, the mother of Jesus. If you want to call Mary(the mother of Jesus) sister of Aaron, thats fine, show me that Aaron and Mary are from the same tribe? Otherwise they have nothing to do with eachother. Many mistakes and blunders im the quran, many.

[@MU-we8hz]

@@ancienthamatendiscipline3533 i have not delibratley ignored it. I said to you, show me that Aaron and Mary are from the same tribe? Why connect the two with eachother? Unless you have mistaken the two Mary's. Jesus is NOT Isa in arabic, show me a arabic Bible that reffers to Jesus as Isa? You say the quran doesn't mention the name of Moses, the Bible does and it's Amram. Since the quran confirms the inspiration and the preservation of the Bible, there is a huge blunder in the quran. I can go on and on with factual mistakes in the quran.

[@samsmith6279]

Really good, MashaAllah you are answering a lot of question I had about our religion. I am amazed by the Quran and have no doubt about Allah's word but I always wondered about things that contradict the Quran but they would back up their claims with Hadith then the question would become why don't the Hadith match what the Quran is saying so I started doubting Hadith which with the historical analysis of Hadid would clearly indicate that collection of Hadith though probably well intentioned was not a good method. The people of Hadith were done cause more doubts about the message of Allah by claiming that Hadith are reliable to the degree of certainty or absolute certainty it never sat well with me the Quran is amazing a lot's words are absolutely amazing but these issues obviously would cause people who who have doubts to bring them out of the fold of Islam. So how can those people be blamed when the last message is being mad with unreliable and partisan hadiths.

[@elif12345.]

False premises 1. Illiterate means dumb 2. IQra means ‘read’ 3. Quran was studied more after Rashedun caliphate was dismantled 4. Professional story tellers are the same as mufassir, both of whom got their knowledge from Torah stories. Yet, the most pivotal question that’s not asked is, who taught prophet how to read or write. Then it negates many hadiths that say prophet couldn’t read and even write his name. For instance, prophet crossed out rasulullah from the treaty of hudaibiya after asking a companion which section mentions the word. Classic bani Israel.

[@MarvelousQuran]

@Rafiq Islam... You say: "who taught prophet how to read or write". The Quran tells us that Allahh taught what he did not know in 4:113 You say: "Classic bani Israel."...

Nor can they harm thee in any way, since God has bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ and [given thee] wisdom, and has imparted unto thee the knowledge of what thou didst not know. And God's favour upon thee is tremendous indeed. This is the evidence that prophet was taught how to read and write. Reminds me of a Shia imam who claimed Ali’s name was used in Quran some 300 times.

Sir, prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was provided Intuitional knowledge by Allah when He told him (PBUH) to read (Iqra) on his first spiritual Divine encounter. Intuition starts where logic ends. Prophet (PBUH) was not taught in any school (madrasa). The Divine Encounter opened his (PBUH) heart filling it witth intuition knowledge. Please remember that intuition let a person know about the known and the unknown. Also please remember that the Quran is a mathematical miracle proved by computer.

Fair enough. But consider that it's you who are misinformed. Did the prophet NOT ask Ali to erase "Rasulullah" from the treaty? Then what stamp are you talking about??? This sickness you feel will eventually turn into gratefulness to Allahh for removing poisonous misconceptions YOU had. Detoxification is always painful and has some undesirable side-effects. I sense your passion and your dedication, and I really really appreciate having your comments and reading what you say. Just do YOURSELF a favor. Keep watching. Regards

[@snopejunior2369]

Allah promisd that the Quran cannot be corrupted,stop confussing Muslims.

[@ivanos_95]

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.

هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ It is He who raised a messenger from among the Gentiles; reciting His revelations to them, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and Wisdom; although before that they were clearly misguided. (62:2) الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ طَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makes lawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to them impure things, and removes from them their burden and the shackles which were upon them; so (as for) those who believe in him and honor him and help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, these it is that are the successful. (7:157) مِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا أَمَانِيَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا And among them are 'ummiyoon' who do not know the scripture except through hearsay, they are merely guessing. therefore, woe to those who write the scripture with their own hands, then say, "this is from God" in order to purchase a cheap gain. therefore woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have gained. (2:78-79) 1- The word 'ummiyoon' is the plural of the word 'ummi'. This word is immediately followed by the words 'who do not know the Scripture', which confirms the definition of the word 'ummi' as, and it is exactly as the words say: The one who does not know the Scripture. 2- In verse 79 God warns the 'ummiyoon' not to write distorted versions of the Scripture 'with their own hands'. How can these 'ummiyoon' write distorted versions if they cannot read or write? Once again, this gives us confirmation that 'ummiyoon' does not mean illiterate. It means gentiles who have not received any Scripture. To conclude, the correct meaning of the word 'ummi' in the Quran is a Gentile; one who has not received a Scripture. فَإِنْ حَاجُّوكَ فَقُلْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْأُمِّيِّينَ أَأَسْلَمْتُمْ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوا وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَاغُ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ If they argue with you, then say, "I have submitted my face to God; so do the ones who follow me", and say to those who were given the Scripture, as well as the gentiles, "Have you submitted?" (3:20) In this verse, God commanded Muhammad to invite those who received a Scripture (the Jews and Christians) as well as the ummi's to submit to God. وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُو مِن قَبْلِهِ مِن كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ إِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ You were not reciting any Book before this, nor were you writing one down by your hand. In that case, the doubters would have had reason. (29:48) وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا And they said: "Fictional tales of old! he wrote them down while they were being dictated to him morning and evening." (25:5) peace

[@MarvelousQuran]

Most of your translations are wrong. We addressed all of these issues in several videos. You say : "the definition of the word 'ummi' as, and it is exactly as the words say: The one who does not know the Scripture." This is not correct! "Do not know" does not mean "did not receive". It means "knowledge": That's all! As a matter of fact, the term "Minhom" refers to the group of "Ahlul Kitaab"!!! Please watch a few more videos. Insha Allahh you will be impressed! The concept of "gentiles" is a Corrupted-Torah-derived, ethnically motivated, derogatory term that we don't use on this channel. On this channel, we don;t teach the corrupted Torah. We teach the Quran, exclusively! Regards

As someone who learned the Hadith and Tafseer way before I was exposed to any other study of any kind. Than was exposed the current issues and history I am flowing it your logic very and enjoying it the stimulation and the challenge which is ok and approved in Islam as rational discussion contrary to what some claim. The one I am uncommittable so far is this one. as it seems to me there is a clear inveses to say the Prophet did not read or write in order to expel any excuse that he learned it from other than Allah via Jibril. You are in to a point if you say he learned it later but was not reading or writing before he become a Prophet. We know the prophet was very smart and very capable off as a Human being. It should not be a problem for him to learn. May be the Ijma'a of the two is he did not read nor write but learned it later Allah knows it. Thank you I think you are into something the fact the Quran is for all people and for all generations is your strength. I am sure you remember when we had the major problem with the phots, TVs and knowing what is not seen and how that is all normal know.

This is great. Thanks, Dr. Some of us (my circle of friends) argued that Prophet Muhammad PBUH was a very successful merchant and for him to not able to recognize alphabets are a bit off. The story about him arbitrating the placing of the Hajr Aswad after the flood could suggest that he might have held the post of a judge or an arbitrator of some sort. Looking back at the tribal nature of the Meccan community then, it could have been a very important post indeed.

[@dr___sqazi5145]

@@MarvelousQuran Yes

[@dr___sqazi5145]

Law received by all prophets?

[@MarvelousQuran]

Kitab is what the angels write for you in your own Weltanschauung: Your understanding of the Quran; The message that you extract from the Quran, especially if the angels help you do so. Ahlelkitaab are those who are positioned to receive such a message from the angels: Those who were told about the concept, even if they fail at applying it. This includes us if we choose to accept that concept and to surrender to it, even if we do not do what it takes to fulfill the conditions associated with receiving according to it. The people of 3aad and Hood are not alhelekitaab, whereas the followers of Mussa and 3issa are. utulkitab and aatynahumul kitab are those who were taught about the concept of Kitaab by others or by Allahh (even if they ended up straying away afterwards), just like I am teaching you now.

29:48 MIN QABLIHI MIN KITAB In this ayah, you interpret KITAB as Quran. KITAB mentioned is a common noun ( اسم نكره ) without Al, if it was ALKITAB then it would be obvious to be specifically the Quran but using common noun indicates "any book" My question is : Why a common noun has been used to mention Quran? I appreciate your response to enable us understand the concept in a better way. Thanks and jazak Allah

You are assuming that the pronoun in "Min Qablihi" is of the same genre as "Kitab". This is not a valid assumption. Consider this sentence: Before you ate this cheese, you did not eat any apple!

All he says it, Muhammed s.a.w.s was not learned man prior to the revelation, but after he started receiving the Qur'an he become literate. Think about it, if it wasn't gift from Allah as he states here, then I am sure if Muhammed s.a.w.s was encouraging other Muslims to learn how to read and write, he him self would also try to learn and educate thus lead by example as he was best at.

Assalamualaikum sir, please answer some questions 📌 👉 what is the interpretation of the hadees, when at the Time of ""sulah hudaibiyah"" when the Macca people demanded to remove the word " Rasoolullah"( SAWAWS) from the treaty of reconciliation and peace, and that occasion hazrat ALI alihi salam was called to rectify the word of objection. I is made to understand that the holy prophet Muhammad could not read or write ,but when Hazrat Ali refused to cut the word of objection" Rasoolullah" . The prophet Muhammad SAWAWS himself did it. Moreover if hazrat Ali was litirate who was brought up from the child hood by the prophet himself was thought to read and write. Who helped hazrat Ali in this work. 👉 Again when the holy Quran was being revealed in parts during 23 years , how did the holy prophet managed to arrange the appropriate verses to be recorded at appropriate places when it was being revealed according to the given circumstances in a scattered form ?? 👉 Also there is no evidence in the sunnah that prophet Muhammad SAWAWS used to write the verses of Quran himself, but it is reported that some companions used to be " katibi Wahi". Please correlate the ambiguity. The katibi Wahi could not assemble the Quranic verses at appropriate places unless guided by the prophet Muhammad SAWAWS himself. No matter the prophet himself was always under the guidance and supervision of Allah and his Angel - Gibrail a.s and getting regular guidence of wahi through other means of revelation. But how to Quran was compiled in the form of book in the present available form unless guided by the prophet himself.???
