Dr. Al-Nahi Discusses Orientalists and Islam
The article discussed Dr. Awad bin Abdullah bin Nahi's paper on the New Orientalists' perspective on Islam through the "Reviewers' School," one of the modern schools of Orientalism that emerged in the late 1970s. It explained that this school relies on a critical methodology based on historical sources, and is characterized as reformist and skeptical. It gained prominence after 1977 with the publication of provocative studies on Islamic texts and their history. The paper also pointed out how some of these theses migrated into Israeli Orientalism, where they are used to question the origins of Islam. Additionally, the article reviewed academic reactions that addressed these theses with balanced critical methods, demonstrating that some orientalists adopted objective viewpoints that contributed to reevaluating certain elements of Islamic heritage. It emphasized the importance of understanding this school within its academic context, highlighting the need to review Western scholarly productions regarding the history of Islam. The article also noted that Orientalism is not viewed as a single unified movement, and that some researchers adopt balanced perspectives. It clarified that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased researchers' activity in this field, considering their different backgrounds, and stressed the necessity of employing modern methodological tools to study orientalist theses.
