Ummy ≠ Illiterate

To make the revelation of the Quran more miraculous, the ignorant Muslim scholars created a lie against the prophet that he was illiterate and incapable of reading or writing. To justify this understanding, traditionalists have distorted the word ummy ( أُمِّيَّ) in the Quran to make it mean “illiterate” rather than how it is used in the Quran as "gentile" and have also fabricated Hadith like the following to prop up this false claim.

Narrated Ibn’Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) 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.” حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ “‏ إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ، لاَ نَكْتُبُ وَلاَ نَحْسُبُ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏”‏‏.‏ يَعْنِي مَرَّةً تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ، وَمَرَّةً ثَلاَثِينَ‏.‏ Sahih al-Bukhari 1913 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1913

The word ummy occurs six times in the Quran.
