    The "unlettered" prophet you are referring to is no one else other than Muhammad ofcourse. Moses was brought up in the royal household of the then Pharaoh and he was probably lettered as he held high posts in Pharaohs regime. The word "unlettered" is a mistranslation, it seems, according to the essence of the scripture. The correct word here is gentile. And Moses is no gentile since he belonged to the Hebrews who were possesors of the scripture.

      And the prophet Jesus was send to give the Gospel the good news. And what is the good news; the advent of a new messenger, a gentile prophet from among the brothers of Moses who would resemble Moses much. And who in history resembles Moses much. None other than Muhammad whom our learned translators have mistranslated the word "Ummiy" to mean as "unlettred", which corrrectly should be rendred as "gentile", someone who is not from among those who were given the scripture before. peace

        Peace,

        NO!

        To whom is "SAY" being addressed?

        To Moses! - i think.

        Look at all the ayah's surrounding they are all about Moses and his people arn't they? He got inspiration and could hear Allah.

          Moses was Ummi as he lived his life with pharoe , he never new Godly ways? - i think.

          And when and how did he learn Gods ways?

          And he did go back to them after a long long time, living in the pharoes palace.

          622
          It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlearned a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before, in manifest error;-

          I think.

          peace

            007.158
            YUSUFALI Say "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah

            Look at all the ayah's surrounding they are all about Moses and his people arn't they?

            Yes, how prior events and guidance are conveyed via 100s of ?qul? or say all address the same messenger

              so the Quran is the return of jesus (the word of GOd) that judges us in all truth and with justice forever, just as jesus said he would, it was the word of God that he embodied while he was here on earth, and now that he has died and gone, his return is the word of God embodied for all time in the Quran. What do you think of this idea?

              Yes, Quran confirms and contains within it the true Torah and Injeel.

                And Solomon was David's heir. He said "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"

                Look here solomon is being sent to all men........................look at the Arabic, and not what they have translate it to.

                "Say"- addresses different people at different times in the quran, we have to look to who is in the context - i think.

                Salaam.

                  To all men, really?
                  The Arabic can be twisted same as translations; correct meaning does not contradict.

                  Read Surah "in context" which begins

                  Ta-seen, these are verses the Quran?s and book clear
                  Guidance and good news to the believers

                  Who is relaying this information?

                    Isn't that how you see it?

                    If not who do you say is saying it? nope

                    ya ayyuha alnnasu=ya ayyuha alnnasu= "O ye people" and this is the same in both ayah's 2716 and 7158 ??

                    hypno

                    Yes, think find one qul (not qala) not addressing the same messenger of Quran.

                    i believe most are addressing different people at different times.........i have given you one above 7158! i am almost 100% sure.?

                    Are you?

                      Question was not what he said rather to whom was the recital recited which tells you he said this?

                      Are you?

                      I am 100% sure they are not the same

                      waqala ya ayyuha alnnasu
                      2716 and he said "O, you the people

                      7158 Say ?O, you the people

                      7158 is a command to ?say?
                      2716 is a narration what was said

                      The messenger of Quran is told to relay the stories of prior events and/or to give examples/guidance.

                        Please correct me if i am wrong but i thought you was saying that the prophet of the quran was sent to all mankind while the rest of the prophets weren't.

                        Then think who is messenger of Quran sent to all men/humanity?

                        2716 and 7158 i thought showed that different messengers where sent to men everywhere unless we say that in both cases its the same person speaking or something like that.

                          As stated, every ?say? in Quran is consistently addressed to the same last prophet

                            Transliteration Qul man kana AAaduwwan lijibreela fa-innahu nazzalahu AAala qalbika bi-ithni Allahi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushra lilmu/mineena

                            297 Say "Who was an enemy to Gabriel , so that he descended it on your heart/mind with God's permission, confirming to what (is) between his hands, and (a) guidance and a good news to the believers."

                            say "HE descended it on your heart....................confirming what between HIS hands...."

                            on your heart......(but).....HIS hands

                            "your" and "his"

                            so Gabriel descends it to peoples heart what is between Gabriels or the prophets hands.

                            isn't that what is implied?

                            God Bless.

                              How can Gabriel be saying "say" when the same ayah is also saying "HE descended it"

                              and by whom
                              http//www.islam-muslims.org/quran/2/97

                              If you are content that "say" is addressed to the last prophet, open a different thread as to transmission.

                                  sorry i edited when you was replying, may be you could answer it again.

                                  Thanks.

                                  Sure thing.

                                  297 Say "Who was an enemy to Gabriel, so that he descended it on your heart/mind with God's permission, confirming to what (is) between his hands, and (a) guidance and a good news to the believers."

                                  1. Say is addressed to last prophet (clear)

                                  2. Transmission medium is through Gabriel to the prophet?s mind with God?s permission (clear)

                                  3. Confirming to what between his hands (not clear)

                                  4. Guidance and good news to the believers (clear)

                                  31-3
                                  Alif-lam-meem

                                  Allahu la ilaha illa huwa alhayyu alqayyoomu
                                  God, no God except He, the alive, the of no beginning and self sufficient.

                                  Nazzala AAalayka alkitaba bialhaqqi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi waanzala alttawrata waal-injeel
                                  He descended on you The Book with the truth, confirming to what (is) between His hands, and He descended the Torah and the Injeel.

                                  Now clear ?between His hands? is non literal meaning from God; cross reference for consistency
