Beschreibungen/Notizen
This research paper aims to uncover the information found in foreign sources (Armenian and Syriac) regarding the personality of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and discuss the accuracy of the information contained in them. Orientalists heavily rely on these sources when writing about the early history of Islam, considering them more credible than Arabic sources, which they doubt due to the argument that they were recorded two centuries after the emergence of Islam. In contrast, Armenian and Syriac sources were documented during the first century of the Islamic era/seventh century AD. They believe that Arabic sources only represent the perspective of the victorious, ignoring the opinions and positions of the people of the conquered lands who differ from them in terms of belief.
