Abstract

Abstract

This research aims to clarify several points, including:
1- Demonstrating the miracle that God bestowed upon His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who brought a great book, despite being illiterate.
2- Exposing the misguided claims of those who falsely assert reason and objectivity in scientific research.
3- Revealing some of the distortions and attacks on Islam propagated by its enemies.
Research Methodology: This research employs an inductive, analytical, and critical approach.
Research Content: This research consists of an introduction, a preface, two main sections, and a conclusion. The preface defines illiteracy and contemporary heretics. The first section discusses the illiteracy of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) among Muslims, while the second section addresses the illiteracy of contemporary heretics.
Key Findings:
1- The meaning of illiteracy in classical Arabic: the inability to read and write.
2. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was completely illiterate both before and after his prophethood.
3. Islamic scholars unanimously agree that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was illiterate before his prophethood.
4. The difference between the view of Muslim scholars who affirmed the Prophet's illiteracy after his prophethood and the view of modern-day heretics.
