Because the first words of the Surah are Alef, Lam, Meme. These are three letters.

They're letters. And the only person whoever, anybody who knows letters, the only reason they would know letters is

because they're learning to read. There's no other reason you should know letters.

You know there are people that are uneducated they never received any education in

English. They speak English but they never went to school. You tell them

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, these words make no sense to them. These letters have no value to

them. What does that even mean?

What do you mean, W? What is that?

I have never heard this word before.

Because the only time you worry about letters

is when you worry about spelling.

And the only time you worry about spelling is if you're going to read or you're going to write,

yes?

And that's something the Prophet's Khy-Sallem has no access to.

So when he recites, alif, l'am, maim, it already sends shock waves in that community.

Wait, who taught him letters?

I thought he's a me?

If he's saying alif, a maim, it must mean he has a teacher.

Because you can't learn those on his own.

If he doesn't know, he should just be saying,

alam.
