The Approach to Sira of German Orientalist Theodor Nöldeke

Abstract

This study seeks to analyse the approach of Theodor Nöldeke, one of the leading figures of 19th-century Orientalism, to the sira, and to assess the extent to which he adhered to the principle of objectivity in his representations of the Prophet’s life. In line with this objective, no existing research was encountered. Therefore, the article was written with the aim of filling a gap in the Orientalist sira literature in general, and in Nöldeke studies in particular, and seeks to lay the groundwork for future research in this field. In this context, Nöldeke’s works on the sira have been analysed on the basis of statistical data analysis, textual criticism, and comparative methods. Indeed, it has been observed that Nöldeke benefited not only from some Orientalists, but also from sources in tafsir, hadith, Arabic literature, and Islamic history. On the other hand, although he criticized some of his predecessors in terms of impartiality, it has been determined that he himself did not adhere to the principle of objectivity in his interpretations regarding the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims. His attempt to conceal unsupported approaches through hypothetical expressions, his inclusion of contradictory narratives in his works, his disregard for relevant Quranic verses and authentic hadiths that serve as sources for the sira, and his neglect of facts explicitly stated in Islamic historical sources are among the indicators of his biased attitude.
