Orientalists in general have tried to smear the authentically excellent image of the Last Prophet (s. a. w.) and the Qur'an in an effort to cast doubt about the reliability of both the Prophet (s. a. w.) as the Final Messenger of Allah and the Qur'an as the revealed words of Allah. Among other issues they have touched and dwelt on one is what they allegedly refer to as Satanic Verses (praise ofgharEnEq [deities]). Some Orientalists of20th century like Karen Armstrong, Montgomery Watt, and Maxime Rodinson have paid special attention to this issue in their respective works. The very objective of their approach to this false story is to prove that the revelation of the Qur'an was not genuinely from Allah. They dishonestly ignored the very position of this incident fabrication. Many renowned Muslim scholars like Al-Qurtabi, Al-Radi, Qadi Ayaz, andIbnal-’Arab i proved the story related to Satanic Verses as totally baseless. This article analyses Orientalists' views on these called Satanic Verses and concludes that Orientalists failed to maintain their objectivity in their description of the story.
