The Jews at the Time of the Prophet Muhammad According to Some Orientalists

Abstract

As far as the time of the Prophet Muhammad is concerned, one of the delicate issues is the position of the Jews, their attitudes towards Islam and the Prophet alongside with his policy against them. This matter took not only the attention of the Muslim historians but also the orientalists. So, on this point, the orientalists made some remarks. Some of them put forward subjective views based on fanaticism and some other reasons about the Prophet Muhammad’s relations with the Jews. On the other hand, some of them made objective and moderate evaluations on the same issue. In this article, it has been studied the views and comments of the selected orientalists from the both sides on the relations with the Jews during the Meccan and the Medinan periods.
