Abstract



• The orientalist is called on to thinkers engaged in the study of the sciences of the East, its history and civilization, and its social, political and economic conditions. The emergence of the oriental movement was an expression of individual efforts and spontaneously. It was difficult for historians or researchers to determine the beginning of its appearance accurately or even assertively. And the study of the orientalists of the sciences of the Muslims and their languages, literature, cultures and civilizations were not for the benefit of Hungary and the love of knowledge, but had religious, political, commercial and colonial goals in the Islamic world. The religious goal is the main objective behind the emergence of Orientalism. • The orientalists had a variety of tools and means to broadcast their opinions and publish their research. They left no path or way to achieve their goals and implement their plans, And the writing of research, and the production of dictionaries, and the issuance of Islamic encyclopedias, did not adhere to orientalists in their studies and research on Islam scientific approach, and it has emerged in the lack of scientific secretariat in all what they convey, and their failure to return to the approved sources , They were far from the scientific approach in their study of Islam, and that the fair ones - a few - who have been stripped of the passions and access to the facts in their research, and this category of orientalists the highest categories of goals, and the least dangerous; quickly return to the right when it shows them , And some of them arrived at the search to discover the truth and believed and announced, and embraced some of these Islam and wrote books in the motive. • In many libraries of the world, serious books circulated to some orientalists fanatics, based on many researchers and thinkers and return to them in many of their research, and raise the Orientalists to suspicions and woven around the collection of the Koran in the era of the Prophet peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr and Osman may Allah be pleased.
