Ask The Imam: Using the word "Um'mi" for Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and give him peace)
Friday December 25, 2020
Question: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is considered to be 'Ummi'. Is this a reference that he ﷺ categorically could not read and write or is it instead a reference that he ﷺ was untaught by man? There are some circles that deny the former position outright and advocate the latter meaning of 'Ummi' as the only orthodox view.
