FireDragon, Quran was revealed before humans formed Arabic grammar rules. It's not consistent with the grammar rules they formed AFTER the Quran. But most scholars except for those idiots looking to argue for nothing, will argue Quran, breaks the Arabic grammar rules only purposely to manifest something.
This is something you have to know when studying Quran. I wish those making the grammar rules after would've been more mindful of Quran and allowed the same type of usage that God uses, but when people form grammar rules, they usually do it for consistency.
The Quran if it adhered to the grammar rules after it was revealed would not nearly be as beautiful as it is, as the linguistic games it plays with singular and plural is of it's highest beauty. And other things it does as well that seem to break grammar rules but is so purposeful witty and beautiful.
I know Arabic and I read Quran often.
I'm not going to argue with this anymore, because your tone is way too assertive.
You should realise a simple thing.
1. You said Ali taught the prophet to read and write in 609
2. The verse you are quoting was according to the same sources revealed 11 or 12 years later, before hijri.
So by that time after 12 years, and according to your yourself the prophet was literate, but allah is saying he was not literate.
1. By the time 29:48 was revealed according to you the prophet was literate.
2. But according to you yourself verse 29:48 is saying he wasn't illiterate.
So what you are saying is that Allah didnt know that the prophet learned to read and write since 609 and has been doing so for 11 long years. This is what you are saying, not me.
And you didnt reply to this earlier when i asked. Specific question about specific things.
Peace.
