Medina Tul Ilm
There is a great debate prevalent in the Muslim World related to the ‘literacy’ aspect of the holy Prophet (SAW) since the Quran has referred to him as ‘Ummi’. Some of the Muslims have the audacious view that the holy Prophet (SAW) was an ‘illiterate’- who could neither read nor write and hence Quran has referred to him as ‘Ummi’. This argument loses its steam and can be proved baseless if we take pains to ponder upon the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW).
