Syyiduna Anas Bin malik RadiyAllahu Anhu narrated that Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stated: On the night of Me’raj, I saw written on the Door of Jannah, Charity is repaid tenfold, and the loan eighteenfold. The Prophet said: "O Jibril, how can the loan be more meritorious than charity?" He replied: "Because one asking for charity may still have some need left, while the borrower does not borrow except his need is fulfilled." (Ibn e Majah) Hazrat Abu Hamraa RadiyAllahu Anhu narrated that Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stated: During Me’raj I saw on the right side of The Arsh written LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAHU MUHAMMAD UR RASOOLULLAH (Jalla Wa Alaa wa Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). (Khateeb Baghdadi, Thareekh ul Baghdad Li Ibn Asaakir, Mu’jam ul Kabeer Lil Tabarani, Ibn jawzi, Majma uz Zawaaid lil Haytami) Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar RadiyAllahu Anhuma narrated that Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stated: on whichever heavens I passed by, I saw Muhammad ur Rasoolullah and Abu Bakr (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam wa RadiyAllahu Anhu). (Thareekh Baghdad Lil Khateeb) Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas RadiyAllahu Anhuma narrated that Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stated: During Me’raj I saw written on The Arsh, LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAHU MUHAMMAD UR RASOOLULLAH, ABUBAKR SIDDIQ, UMAR UL FAROOQ (Thareekh Baghdad Lil Khateeb) Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, Indeed I see what you do not see and hear what you do not hear. (Ibn Majah, Tirmizi, Ahmad, Shu’bul Imaan & Sunan Kubra Lil Bayhaqi, Imam Tahawi, Ibn Jawzi) Hazrath Awn bin Abdullah RadiyAllahu Anhu narrated that Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did write and read before He left this world. (Ibn jawzi, Imam Qurtubi, Imam Navavi). OBJECTIONS 1. [Ankabut 29:48] And you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) were not reading any Book before it, nor writing with your right hand – if it were, the people of falsehood would surely have doubted. ANSWER By looking at the Previous Verse of the above, its very clear that Allah sent down This Holy Book to His Habeeb Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam so that those who were given The Book believe in it and can never reject it as this being The Book being written by other than Allah. [Ankabut 29:47] And this is how We sent down the Book to you O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); so those to whom We gave the Book believe in it; and some of these (polytheists) accept faith in it; and none except the disbelievers reject Our signs. Further it was extremely important that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was not seen to read and write in public. However, there is a big difference between: ‘not being able to read and write’ and ‘not being seen to read and write’. If no one has seen a person swim, it doesn’t automatically mean he cannot swim. Illiteracy is a defect and all prophets and messengers are free from such defects and shortcomings,
2. At the Cave Hira, The Prophet saying Maa Ana Bi Qaari’in, I am unable to read or I don’t know to read, I cannot read, I am not the one who reads etc ANSWER: Whilst in seclusion in Hira, Hazrat Jibreel Alaihissalam appeared and instructed The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, ‘Recite’. Thrice the Prophet responded with the words ‘Ma ana bi-Qari’in’. Maa Ana Bi Qaari’in does not mean ‘I cannot read’. consider the incident of Habil and Qabil, the two sons of Prophet Adam Alaihissalam , mentioned in the glorious Quran. It states that Habil said to Qabil: [Maidah 5:27, 28] And recite to them the true tale of the two sons of Adam; when both of them offered a sacrifice each - hence the sacrifice of one was accepted and not accepted from the other; he (the other) said, I swear I will kill you; he answered, Allah accepts only from the pious. Indeed, if you do extend your hand against me to kill me, I will not extend my hand against you to kill you; I fear Allah, the Lord Of The Creation. Here, also the negation of Habil of not raising his hand against his brother to kill him has been mentioned using the ‘active present particle’. The phrase used is Maa ana bi basitin (which has the same grammatical structure as Maa Ana Bi Qaari’in). This does not mean that Habil didn’t have the strength or ability to raise his hand; rather, he would not do as such because he feared Allah. So from the Qur’an, we can show that to translate Ma ana bi Qari’in as ‘I cannot read’ is wrong and inaccurate. What the Prophet (peace be upon him) really said was ‘I shall not read.’ Why did he not read? Because Jibril did not take the name of Allah for the first three times. Only when he said ‘Recite in the name of your Lord’ did the Prophet react! Only Allah knows the actual motives and wisdoms behind the Prophet not reading at that auspicious moment of receiving the first divine revelation. However one of them could be that since it is necessary to begin every chapter of the Quran with the name of Allah Tha’ala and Hazrat Jibreel Alaihissalam, in the first 3 instances, merely said ‘read’ without the name of Allah, the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam refused to read saying, “I shall not read.” In other words, The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is clarifying that if He were to instruct all his followers to begin every action with the name of Allah, how is it possible that he himself begins this divine message and starts to read without invoking the name of Allah. The Ahlus Sunnah correctly translate ‘Maa Ana Bi Qaari’in’ as ‘I shall not read’ so that the dignity of Hazrat Jibreel and The Prophet are preserved. Consider the situation where there is an illiterate person standing before me who cannot read nor write and I ask him to read. If I am aware that he cannot read then by asking him to do so, I am actually insulting him since he will not be able to read and will be embarrassed in front of the audience. On the other hand, if I am unaware of the fact that he cannot read then by asking him to do so, I am actually insulting myself since I am asking a person to do something that he does not have the ability to do. In the same manner, if Hazrat Jibreel was aware that the Prophet could not read, then (Allah forbid) he is insulting the Prophet. Conversely if Hazrat Jibreel is not aware that the Prophet cannot read, then (Allah forbid) he is insulting Himself. 3. The Prophet said, "We are an illiterate nation; we neither write, nor know accounts. The month is like this and this, i.e. sometimes of 29 days and sometimes of thirty days. (Bukhari in chapter of fasting) ANSWER : To use this Hadees as a proof for The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam being illeterate goes against all the Verses and Hadees which proves the Literacy of Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. further this Hadees is referred to the Crescent which is very well explained in the Commentaries even by the Deviants, so to use this as evidence is nothing but to show the ignorance.
