The Unlettered Prophet - Ramadan Reflect...

QAIM INSTITUTE
About this episode

Having never gone to an official school to learn the art of reading and  writing, some have claimed that Prophet Muhammad was illiterate.  However, given that he had the best teacher, that is Allāh, and that he  would experience the greatest ever events in his life, how can people  claim that he did not have the ability to engage in something like this?  Does the Quran make note of Prophet Muhammad being illiterate? Join us  in this episode as we review the Quran and its description of Prophet  Muhammad.
