			Brother This is a question posed by non Muslim Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him does not know to
read and write, but he has strongly supported education in Islam. Why then he did not make any
attempt to learn to read and write.

			We asked a very good question that profit or muscle loss alum, the first guidance given the Quran in
the heat of Hamas, Allah Allah, Allah subhanaw taala decra, to read to recite in Surah, chapter
nine, verse number one, so when he paid so much importance, it's sad that it's obligated every
Muslim man or woman to acquire knowledge. So why was he not literate?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:01:25
			The answer is given Sudan Caboose chapter number 29 was number 14. Allah says that we have made
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as an illiterate, so that the babblers of entities would not have
excuse. No people would have had an excuse that this Quran is written by Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him. So Allah subhanho wa Taala purposely made the last and final messenger illiterate, so that
people would not accuse that this book, The Quran has been written by the last and final prophet.
But even though he was illiterate, he was very educated. illiterate means he could not read and
write but his intelligence was par excellence.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

of Salah Salaam as the best statement in human history, the best leader in human history, Thomas
Carlyle, in his book, he wrote the hero worship, he calls him the best leader in human history
micayla chart causes the most influential person boy illiterate.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:32
			So that is the Divine Wisdom of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Purposely, even the best literate person
cannot write this book. But alas, mother says in Quran in Sudan kabu chapter number 29 verse 14,
that he made the last and final messenger and enlisted so that the people would not accuse that is
the person with the Quran, though it is a point, not even big enough to hang up lie. It is so
insignificant yet, Almighty Allah subhanaw taala did not want to give a challenge for the babblers
for those critics to point the finger even though it is such an insignificant point that there is a
line of Divine Wisdom made the last and final messenger and elated person answer the question.
