Notes
It is a historical fact that the West, which describes itself as "us" and other religious and ethnic groups, especially Muslims, as "the other", is constantly against Islam, which offers an alternative life and culture to the values that shape its own life. Western Christians have constantly criticized Islam, its prophet and its holy book throughout history. One of them is the Dutch orientalist Dozy. Dozy, who conducted research on Eastern languages, wrote a work that contradicted historical facts, and was translated into Turkish by Abdullah Cevdet under the name "Tarih-i İslamiyet". Many rejections were written for this work, which caused great reactions in the Ottoman public. One of these rejections is Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi's work called "Tarih-i İslam". In his work Ahmed of Filibe, Dozy's Hz. He gave answers to his prejudiced, unfounded and unfounded views about the Prophet, Islam and the Quran, which do not comply with the methodology of history. In this study, Filibeli's evaluations about the Quran, his objections to the quality of revelation in the works of some Western authors, whom he calls "Dozy and his peers", and the Prophet Muhammad. The focus will be on the opposing views of the Prophet against the accusations of epilepsy and hysteria.
