dc.description.abstract | Orientalists had been working seriously towards the demolition of the second
primary source of Islamic law where most Islamic proofs are derived. Given the
strong links between the unnecessary allegations against some Prophetic traditions
and irrelevant arguments about the compilation of Sunnah clearly proves their
sceptics around the entire words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon
him). With this regard, there is a pressing need to replace some assumptions and
misconceptions regarding these standpoints through academic approaches, so that
Muslims will not be discouraged and misguided away from the real sources of
Islamic law. For this sake, this study seeks to establish a number of facts which can
eliminate the doubtful mind Muslims might have assumed from the wrong
perceptions this group had created around the compilation and validity of Sunnah.
In addition to that, this article aspires to reveal Orientalist deceiving facts in
swapping false theories into realities in Islam. It also tends to evaluate the group’s
plan and see whether they really wish to support Islam with these agendas or
demolish it. Moreover, do they have any sincere intention and objections in probing
the authenticity of Sunnah? In achieving these goals, descriptive method is used to
pinpoint techniques and features of this set of group. While analytical approach is
adopted with the aim of acknowledging their strategies. Apparently, findings assert
that Orientalists doesn’t have any reasonable justification in challenging the validity
of the Prophetic tradition. Asides that, results show that this set of people are merely
using this ideology to divert Muslims’ attention from the faithful belief they have for
the Prophet and his traditions. | en_US |
