Abstract

This research deals with the criticism of the Encyclopedia of Islam, which was written by orientalists at the AG Brill Center in Leiden in the Netherlands, and translated into Arabic and printed at the Sharjah Center for Intellectual Creativity in the UAE.
 
The research showed the most famous definition of the Prophet's hadith and its end according to Muslim scholars.
The research dealt with the definition of the Encyclopedia (Islamic Encyclopedia) and explained its difference from the definition of modernists and the reason for this difference.
The research dealt with the errors that were mentioned in the speech on the topic of the hadith and described it and answered them.
I miss what was written in the encyclopedia of the scientific methodology, and therefore many errors occurred.
Most of what was written in the encyclopedia in the subject of hadith is taken from an anti-Islam fanatic orientalist (Goldtziher), and therefore it is considered one-way and does not express the truth of the Prophet’s hadith.
There is not a single reference in the Arabic language in the references to the subject, subject and attribute of the hadith.
Instead of the encyclopedia talking about the subject of the hadith, it talked about the lies of some of the fabricators in the hadith and their purposes in developing the hadith.
The research critiqued what the encyclopedia decided on falsehoods, including: that the Prophet’s hadith is a process of changing old habits and creating new ones for the Muslim community.
Whoever reads the encyclopedia will come out with the fact that all or most of the hadiths are lies for the sake of political and societal interests.
