EXAMINING AND CRITICIZING THE VIEWS OF ORIENTALISTS ABOUT THE LIFE OF HAZRAT KHADIJAH

The life and personality of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as a prophet of Islam has always been considered by orientalists. In the family of the Prophet (PBUH) Hazrat Khadijah (AS), as his first wife and the first believer in him at the time they were in Mecca, played a prominent role in the early stages of the Prophethood of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH). Due to this, various aspects of the life of Hazrat Khadijah (AS) have been reflected in the works of Orientalists. Most Orientalists’ views have been around the five axes of “how Khadijah (AS) became acquainted with the Prophet (PBUH), their Marriage, her support for the Messenger of God (PBUH), and the demise of Khadijah (AS) and its consequences.” It is natural that some views of Orientalists are consistent and verifiable with the reports of earlier historical sources, but there are several unconfirmed claims that are reviewed in this article in terms of natural differences between the culture of the Islamic world and the West and the prevailing conditions and spirit of Oriental studies. The library method with reference to earlier historical sources is taken as research method.
