Assalam u Alaikum,
Dear Farhad Saheb, You
did an article some years ago in which you asserted that the angle
Gabriel might have brought the first revelation on a plaque and asked
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to read (Iqra) but the Prophet
(pbuh) replied: I am not able to read. On the other hand, majority of
the Quran exegetes and scholars unanimously hold the view that the
Gabriel orally uttered the words Iqra (read!)......So, Farhad Saheb, do
you still hold on to your words? Moreover, you had also mentioned that
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not unlettered, while
Maulana Maududi translated the words “al-Nabi al-Ummi” as unlettered. I
am eagerly waiting for your response!
