Orientalists' views on the concept of fasting in Islam a research based study

Abstract

The Orientalists' views on Islam also gained traction on a global scale, which is why Islam was still avoided in Christian literature. In addition to not being familiar with Islamic traits, the neutral world also saw Islam through a Western prism, which caused their neutrality to gradually wane in the West. A class of people emerged in Islamic society who began to interpret Islam through the eyes of Orientalists, and as a result, the educated class from the West continued to avoid Islam.

This essay focuses on the actions of the Orientalist West in an effort to shed light on how the Orientalists treated Western-educated Muslims and underprivileged Muslim scholars who expressed doubts about the West and their methods. The Orientalists' writings exhibit an almost antiquated desire for knowledge and professional honesty. They also raise questions about the source of the doubts and suspicions that fueled their beliefs.

This article examines the arguments put forth by Orientalists against Fasting. The focus is on refuting this charge they have made against fasting from the perspective of the Quran and Sunnah. Only heresy or the use of shaky sources are used to support this claim. In order to refute these assertions, this article refers to the Quran, the Sunnah, and other trustworthy sources.
