He could read, there are 2 explanations, some people say that when the Quran says (omey) some literally translate to to illiterate, but (omey) in Arabic also means someone who just learnt about something, so the other more plausible and logical explanation is that muhammed could read but he was (and his people) had just learnt first hand/received knowledge of what other nations learnt before them.
@@mooripo they couldn’t read lol you would have to prove he could have gotten these stories as the quran states they never knew or the prophet could understand syriac
For me Muhammad is not ummiun in the sense iliterate by writing nor reading is. Not issue as far as communication between easterner of north (Syrian) and south (Medina and Mecca) able exchange conversation. Or else Muhammad engage in Caravan to Syrian and he met a lot of Christian Syriac/Aramaic exchange of trade need talk and Muhammad most probably knew little Aramaic/Syriac and alternate Qureish Arabic very common words they differentiate only on phonetic dialect pronunciation. Even Hebrew had similar to all languages in the East, good example Abraham in Qureish is Ibrahim only letter "i" different etcetera. so ummiun of Muhammad no bearing for me at all because the exchange of conversation is not on paper but verbal. Remember Muhammad since childhood he went to joined with his uncle Abu Talib caravanbhe exposed to two communities the Christian Aramaic/Syriac and pagan Aramai/Syriac as well Arabic Christian so those words related to religious terms from Ahlul injilya Muhammad he forge then present to his own people it came from Allah. Remember Warqa ben Naufal played big role in Muhammad call and prophet claimed🤔
@@maslam6404 defending on tense and setting because both described to either illiterate or mother. In the case of term "ummiun" more indicates to illiterate...
Thanks for a clearer explanation. I was thinking along the same line cos it was claimed to be Allah's word to an Arab man? And yeah I believe waraqa played a massive part in the origin of Islam.
@@maslam6404 yes, it can mean too. However if translate to other languages like into English it shades more meanings. The context setting determine which fit to it. In the case setting of Muhammad most Muslim believed aa well those translators translated it “illiterate” than “mother” or “community” also in figurative sense “Gentile”. So the supplement of translation for Nabi is the reading “illiterate prophet” or “Community Prophet” in the sense Muhammad is an Arab Qureish or some understood “Gentile Prophet” to distinct with the Jewish prophets. But it still the dilemma is the question is “Muhammad True Prophet”? Since 610 AD begin proclaim the Tauhid of Allah to Pagan Meccan and claim belong with the former Prophets sent by God but the objection and rejection of Jew and Christian remain until today of June 14, 2023😭😰😩
When we talk about all languages, many of languages have commonality. This is quite normal, and no any Islamophobic Bigot should try to make it a fuss. For example, in Urdu Language, name is also called Ism. In Persian is also Ism. In Arabic is also Ism. But when you are reading Urdu, you can say that Ism is word of Urdu Language which have roots in Persian and Arabic because Persian and Arabic languages are older than Urdu. Some words in Italian and Punjabi language are same, and it is very strange
Than one had to annulled the idea of those word coming from Allah, why would allah speak different languages concerning a message for an Arabic speaker. To include other language had to mean there are different contributors, instead of claiming from one source

I hope you get the idea.
@@mooripoThen the question is, how come quran contains languages Muhammed doesn't speak? Like aramiac, syriac, even Ethiopian, not forgetting the 7Ahruf which contradicted everything you just said?
It was Arabic, everyone accepts that all languages can localize and acquire foreign words and use them, with time they become a part of the language itself, there are dozens of Arabic words in English & Spanish... but everyone also, supposes that Arabic should be Pure 100%, it's impossible, Arabs didn't live in some isolated Island, they were actually merchants and they lived in the center of the old world, it's very natural that their language would receive so many foreign words and would localize them with time, this is a natural linguistic process.
The issue is that many words in Quran are in Syriac but those words do exist in Arabic. Example, the Quran uses the word Injil, which is derived from Roman language, but in Arabic should have called boshara, بشارى. Also, the whole Sura إن أعطينك الكوثر، فصلي لربك وانحر، إن شانئك هو الابطر. Most of the above Sura is in Syriac and if we translate it we can find the words in Arabic. الكوثر= الدوام و الثبات انحر = الصبر شانئك = عدوك أو الشيطان أبتر = مهزوم After we know their meaning in Arabic we can easily understand the verse, while the Muslims scholars have translated it completely wrong, for example they say that kawtar is a river in heaven. That's why we don't trust the Muslims their explanation.
It's exactly what happened to the bible when they translated it into greek and Latin then English .. many things they changed .. so when they translated all the preislamic books into Arabic they created Qur'an
Come on, it's not just a matter of there being non-Arabic words here & there in the Qur'an that can be considered adoptions (like "piano" in English), whole verses don't make sense in Arabic, like sura 19 mentioning how Mary conceived Jesus & describes Mary’s desperation about the birth of her son out of wedlock, and states that she therefore wished to be dead. Verse 24 of this sura in traditional translation reads: “And he [Jesus] said to her from beneath: _‘Do not grieve. Your Lord has provided a brook at your feet,’_ which makes no sense, as if that would help. Luxenberg shows that In Syro-Aramaic, however, the verse reads: _“Then he [Jesus] said to her after giving birth: ‘Do not be sad, for the Lord has made your birth legitimate’”_ , which does make sense.
It does make sense, read the surrounding verses. Its not talking about her concern about legitimacy and wishing she was dead. It was about the pain of the childbirth to which Allah provides food and drink to ease her ordeal. Unless these verses before and after 19:24 have a more coherent meaning in Syriac? "And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten..." "So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "
God says that the Quran is revealed in pure Arabic. You are describing the Quranic Arabic, just like another human language. You tend to forget that it is ALLAH'S LANGUAGE.
Nowhere does it say PURE. What does pure arabic even mean? All languages have some level of resemblance to antecedent languages or language of a people within close proximity. Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew trace to a common Semitic language, does that mean that all three languages are not their own pure language? Such a ridiculous argument.
Forget? That would imply accepting Allah's existence, specifically as the god of islam. That is, 'forget' is the language of the believer, not of non-believers.

"In my opinion" "I think" "it's possible"
Yes: conspiracy theories is the correct diagnosis lol 🤣
Even jewish lanuge is very close to our yemen language

God says that the Quran is revealed in pure Arabic.
You are describing the Quranic Arabic, just like another human language. You tend to forget that it is ALLAH'S LANGUAGE.
Nowhere does it say PURE. What does pure arabic even mean? All languages have some level of resemblance to antecedent languages or language of a people within close proximity. Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew trace to a common Semitic language, does that mean that all three languages are not their own pure language? Such a ridiculous argument.
Forget? That would imply accepting Allah's existence, specifically as the god of islam. That is, 'forget' is the language of the believer, not of non-believers.
so allah's language is created by humans?
Yes, and it's a revelation that plagiarises a lot of Jewish, Christian etc stories.
@@mrsnoo86 Allah didn't even reveal original stories. Dul karnayne the Aramaic story of Alexander the Great, the sleepers, Jesus breathing life into clay animals, even the koranic crucifixion story all predate Muhammad by centuries.
You guys should speak to Dr. Jay Smith of @pfander films TH-cam channel. He has been making videos on this subject for a long time
the christian bible has been debunked by bart ehrman and other critical scholars as a hot pile of forgeries, misquoting the hebrew bible, fabrications, internal massive contradictions and outright plagiarism.
@@gibranmahmud5559 Arabs created Quran from compilation of pre-islamic Arabic translations of syro-aramaic lectionaries, homilies, hymnals and folklores of Eastern churches in 7th century middle-east. All stories in Quran are either plagiarised from the Bible or from popular folklores of the 7th century middle-east.
@@roshlew6994 not true, Quran comes from God, the bible is forged plagiarized, contradictory and incorrect. As for "folklores" theres plenty of true apocrypha that is no more or less verifiable than the fake 4 gospels which are mostly plagiarism and contradictions of each other, written by non eyewitnesses who were willing to lie for Jesus.
Didn't you hear the man saying he wants "to stay away from conspiracy theories"?
@@ee6lpzfzj023 in sura 2:30 allah announces the angels he will place a successor or kalipha in the land,
(Keep in mind they are in heaven).
And I ask , how can this character be a successor when he is the first man
Ever created or to who will he succeed?
Conspiracy theory, I call critical thinking.
can the Quran be translared into Syriac? idts. Salaam
