I have often wondered at the skills of the ancients aligning the stones of stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt being mathmatically perfect.
How they used to combine incredible astronomical calculations with the inability to draw in perspective or putting pictures of ships with blokes 40 feet tall crewing them.

I'm not sure what letter you're referring to, but if the prophet peace be upon him ever did send a letter to anyone, could it not have been dictated?^o)
And I'm trying to watch the video but it won't load!
And a mathmatical or astrological genius could have dictated the direction of mecca to him too. It's still fairly impressive.
Shakes my unbeleif without a doubt.
Azy: See the thread about the Prophet (SAW) being literate or not. In one case, it was witnessed that the Prophet(SAW) dictated a letter to a Christian slave who wrote it. This case is no different.

So, Allah's Apostle took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin 'Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet ) even if he wished to follow him and he (the Prophet ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the latter wants to stay.' When the Prophet entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went to 'Ali and said, "Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed." So, the Prophet went out of Mecca....
