Abstract

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the most honourable of creation and messengers, and upon all his family and companions. The enemies of Islam did not leave a way that leads them to destroy Islam. One of the most prominent things they did was to question the authenticity of the Sunnah throughout the ages. It was necessary for the former generations and the latter generations to understand the methods of the enemies to defend the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet in every way. In my humble research called Some Misconceptions of Orientalists who deny the authenticity of the Prophet’s Sunnah, I listed two misconceptions of orientalists and their supporters, which are related to the authenticity of the Sunnah, and refuted them through my humble knowledge of books in this area by collecting, investigating and providing information in a brief and non-dysfunctional meaning. Before that I referred to the definition of the Sunnah, and mentioned the evidence of its authenticity from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and then talked about the concept of Orientalism and its objectives. Then, I concluded my research with a short conclusion in which I mentioned some of the results, the most important of which are the great efforts made to defend the Sunnah, and refuted all those who dealt badly with it, and that the West and orientalists were primarily a source of misconceptions. In addition to those who followed them from those who have weak faith, but Allah Almighty selected from the nation of Mohammed peace be upon him who defends the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet in various eras and to the present day. I beseech Allah Almighty to count me with  those who stood up for our honorable Prophet's Sunnah, as well as for success and reward.
