رسول اللہ ﷺکے غزوات اوردفاعی کاروائیوں سے متعلق مستشرقین کے شبہات

"Orientalists" Doubts about the Battles and Defensive Strategies of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (A Critical and Analytical Review in Light of Seerat-un-Nabi by Shibli Nomani and Syed Sulaiman Nadvi)

Abstract

Many orientalists wrote about the campaigns and defensive operations of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but very few could describe the real facts. And could not meet the requirements of justice, or the majority of them, especially the Christian Orientalists, could not stand on the path of moderation. And the irony of it is that their attitude is regrettable. The sanctity of the pen was a requirement to avoid prejudice, but in them the nobility and honesty were seen as pure. The second is that they did not have solid knowledge about these wars and defensive operations. These Orientalists were not familiar with the Arabic language and the original sources. They were also unfamiliar with Islamic literature and art, as a result of which doubts spread. According to the people of Islam, the most important sources of biography and poetry are the Qur'an and the Hadith. While these orientalists are glorifying the revelation of the verses of the Holy Quran. And the art of hadiths was not familiar with the names of al-Rijal, Jarrah, and Tadeel. Therefore, due to their prejudice and lack of influence in knowledge, the Orientalists continued to connect the invasions and defensive operations with the wars of Jahiliyya period of the Arabs. And sometimes they accused Islam of spreading Islam by force. When the writings of these Orientalists came out, Islam offered rich scholarly answers. Among the Muslim thinkers who are giving now are the two most reliable names of Allama Shibli Nomani and Syed Sulaiman Nadvi. Who has written a book, Sirat-ul-Nabi (ﷺ) and has given a very reasoned and scholarly answer to the criticism of these orientalists. That's why we want to present a research and critical review to solve the doubts of the Orientalists in the light of the book Sirat-ul-Nabi.
