In this seminal work, Mohammad Abdullah Al-Sharqawi delves deep into the intricate relationship between Orientalism and the formation of Western perspectives towards Islam. The book meticulously examines how Orientalist discourse, originating from colonial ambitions and scholarly pursuits, systematically constructed an often biased and negative image of Islamic civilization. Al-Sharqawi analyzes the historical trajectory of Orientalism, revealing its methodologies, key figures, and the profound impact it had on policy-making, cultural understanding, and the perpetuation of stereotypes. This critical study challenges established narratives, urging readers to reconsider the foundations of Western knowledge about the Muslim world and to understand the enduring implications of these historical biases on contemporary global relations.
