The triliteral root hamza mīm mīm (أ م م) occurs in the Quran 119 times.

(2:78) Amongst them are Gentiles (Arab. أُمِّيُّونَ, ummiyyūna) who do not know the Book except by hearsay, and they only conjecture.

(7:157) "Those who follow the gentile (Arab. الْأُمِّيَّ, l-umiya) messenger, the prophet whom they find written for them in the Torah and the Injeel; he orders them to goodness, deters them from evil, he makes lawful for them the good things, he forbids for them the evil, and he removes their burden and the shackles imposed upon them. So those who acknowledged him, honored him, supported him, and followed the light that was sent down with him; these are the successful."
