==Conclusion== | |||
* According to the hadiths, Muhammad could write. | |||
* The meaning of the word ''ummiy'' in the Quran is not clear, but if it means "illiterate", then the Quran is in contradiction with the sahih hadiths. | |||
* Muslims believe Muhammad was illiterate and they consider him their perfect role model for all times. | |||
* Muhammad could be the author of the Quran regardless if he could or couldn't read and write. | |||
