Prophet (sw) could not read or write

Q       Was it significant that the Quran was revealed to someone who could not read or write?                                     [4-J-14-2058/11]

From many angles, it is a significant factor that Mohammad (sw) was a person who could not read or write. If he could read and write, the claim of the people of makkah could be taken seriously that Mohammad himself write this Quran. Though he could not read or write, even then they claimed that he himself wite it and some scholar or jinns assist him in this task. However the claim was baseless because he could not write and his life was not a hidden secret. It was a clear proof that the Quran is the true word of God.

When the Prophet (sw) asked his companions to write the revelations, it was a clear proof to all companions that Mohammad (sw) was not writing it in  his house silently. They used to see the condition of the Prophet (sw) during Wahi and they would keep quiet because they knew it very well that wahi was being revealed to him.


When the companions wrote the Quran, it showed that Mohammad (sw) trusted his companions. He was confident that his companions would not write anything which was not revealed.
