POSLANIKOVA NARAV U DOKAZIVANJU NADNARAVNOSTI KUR’ANA
THE CHARACTER TRAIT OF THE MESSENGER AND THE MIRACULOUS NATURE OF THE QUR’AN

Summary/Abstract: Bosnian Muslims often use the Persian word Peigamber when referring to the messenger Muhammad s.w.s. as well as titles Resulallah, Nebijullah, whereas in dhikr, salawat, nat etc., the attribute “an-Nebiyy al-ummiyy” is also added. This Qur’anic description of the Messenger is often ably translated by Bosniaks as “the Messenger who could not read or write”. However, the word ummyy is polysemic, i.e. it holds a number of other meanings that cannot be ignored. This article offers interpretations of this term with aim to provide essential understanding of Muhammad’s s.w.s. mission and thus giving further evidence of the miraculous nature of the Qur’an.
